This compressor overload is the thermal protector for your refrigerator's compressor. It opens the circuit when the motor overheats or draws excessive current, helping prevent damage and restoring reliable starts when the original protector fails.

• Interrupts power to protect the compressor during overheat or overcurrent conditions
• If failed, symptoms include: compressor won't start, repeated clicking or brief hum then stop, warm refrigerator/freezer, and an unusually hot compressor shell
• A weak protector may trip repeatedly and reset after cooling, causing intermittent cooling
• Works in tandem with the start relay/device to manage compressor startup current

• Disconnect power before servicing and pull the unit forward for rear access
• Remove the rear cover; note wire positions and take a photo for reference
• Pull the old overload straight off the compressor terminal; transfer leads and firmly seat the new overload in the same orientation
• Capacitors can retain a charge—handle with care; reinstall cover and restore power to test

This replacement handle fits the fresh food door on select refrigerators. It restores a solid, comfortable grip and a clean factory look when the original handle is cracked, loose, discolored, or missing.

• Attaches to the refrigerator door to provide a sturdy handhold for opening and closing
• Replaces worn, broken, or scuffed handles and improves appearance
• Helps resolve issues like a wobbly or stripped-hardware handle
• White finish matches the original color on compatible models

• Note RC orientation and compare to your original before installing
• Protect the door finish with masking tape; align the handle before tightening
• Start fasteners by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten evenly and do not overtighten
• If your model uses hidden set screws or trim caps, install them after aligning the handle

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

Bottle with brush. Color: Biscuit paint. It's point-six fluid ounces.

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, or trim within your appliance. Replacing a worn, stripped, or missing screw restores a tight, rattle-free fit so components stay aligned and operate as intended. What it does:

• Fastens components at the original factory locations specified for this part
• Replaces missing, damaged, or stripped screws to restore holding power
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose parts
• Maintains proper alignment of panels, covers, brackets, and trim

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Match to the original screw and install in the same location and orientation
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Use the correct driver or nut-driver; transfer any washers or spacers from the original hardware if present

This evaporator tray collects defrost/condensate water and holds it where warm air can evaporate it, helping prevent leaks and odors. Replace a cracked or warped tray to restore proper drainage and protect surrounding floors and cabinetry.

• Collects water from the evaporator/defrost system and contains it safely
• Promotes evaporation using airflow and heat near the condenser area
• Helps prevent puddles beneath the appliance and mildew odors
• Common signs of failure: water on the floor, recurring leaks after defrost, visible cracks/warping, or standing water in the pan

• Disconnect power and allow components to cool before servicing
• Access the tray from the base or rear (panel removal varies by model)
• Transfer any brackets, clips, or grommets from the old tray as needed
• Ensure the drain tube seats fully into the tray and that the tray is level; restore power and check for leaks

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.

This replacement cabinet screw secures panels, brackets, and ducts in Whirlpool-built appliances so components stay aligned and secure. Replacing missing or stripped hardware helps reduce vibration, rattling, and gaps that can affect performance.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and internal components in the appliance cabinet
• Helps maintain proper alignment and reduce vibration or rattling noises
• Restores a tight fit where original hardware is missing, damaged, or stripped
• Typical symptoms: loose paneling, buzzing/rattling sounds, or parts that won't stay fastened

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Replace one fastener at a time to preserve alignment and match to the original hardware
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten into sheet metal

This hinge cover replaces a damaged or missing hinge trim to protect and conceal the hinge assembly and restore the appliance's finished appearance. It fits over the hinge area and helps reduce dirt buildup and exposed hardware. What it does:

• Restores the appliance's original, finished look
• Common symptoms: cracked, broken, or missing cover; exposed hinge hardware; cosmetic damage or debris buildup

• Refer to your model diagram for correct orientation and fastener locations
• Basic hand tools may be required; some models need the hinge loosened or partially removed
• Disconnect power and/or unplug the appliance before starting work when applicable
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts; follow OEM instructions for reassembly
