• Helps prevent airflow obstructions and keeps lint and moisture away from sensitive areas.
• Matches biscuit (off-white/tan) finishes for a near-original look.

• Can reduce vibration noises and looseness caused by missing/stripped hardware
• Replace if the head is rounded, threads are worn, or the screw is corroded

The Broken Tab Ice Door Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This kit includes all the necessary components to repair or replace the ice door chute, which is responsible for dispensing ice from the ice maker to the ice bucket or directly to the user. The ice door chute must seal properly to prevent warm air from entering the freezer compartment, which can lead to frost and ice buildup.

Symptoms of a failing or broken ice door chute include:

• Ice accumulating around the ice dispenser chute
• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• Warm air leaking into the freezer, causing temperature fluctuations
• The ice door not closing properly or becoming stuck
• Unusual noises from the ice dispenser area

Causes of a broken ice door chute can include regular wear and tear, physical damage from mishandling or excessive force, or deterioration of the sealing components over time.

This OEM part is also compatible with some models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore. 

This kit is used if the ice door mounting tabs are broken off of the dispenser wall. If your model number uses this ice door WP2180353 or this ice door kit W10823377 this kit can be used.

Symptoms of a bad compressor starting device include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or frequently cycling on and off

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption
