Gss26c4xxf03 Parts

The Auger Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This motor powers the auger mechanism in the ice maker, which is responsible for dispensing ice through the door. The auger motor turns the auger blade, pushing ice from the bin through the chute to the dispenser.

Common causes of a bad auger motor include wear and tear from regular use, electrical failures, or damage from ice jams. A malfunctioning auger motor can lead to issues with ice dispensing and may prevent ice from being dispensed altogether.

Symptoms of a bad auger motor include:

• Ice not dispensing when the lever or button is pressed
• Unusual noises or grinding sounds during ice dispensing
• The auger not turning or moving intermittently
• No ice being pushed through the chute

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

This defrost heater mounts at the freezer's evaporator and melts frost during the automatic defrost cycle, keeping airflow unobstructed and temperatures stable. Replace a failed heater to clear ice buildup and restore proper cooling performance. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil at set intervals to melt accumulated frost/ice
• Prevents ice from blocking airflow between freezer and refrigerator sections
• Helps maintain consistent temperatures and efficient cooling
• Common symptoms of failure: thick frost on the back freezer wall, weak airflow, refrigerator warming while the freezer seems cold, fan noise from ice contact

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow heavy ice buildup to thaw safely
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel at the evaporator
• Transfer any clips/shields as needed; route wires exactly as the original and keep the element clear of plastic parts
• Handle the element carefully; avoid bending or stressing it, then reassemble and monitor temperatures over several hours

This ice chute gasket seals the dispenser funnel opening to the freezer door. A tight seal keeps warm air and moisture out of the chute, helping prevent frost buildup, condensation, and drips around the dispenser. What it does:

• Seals the ice dispenser chute/funnel to prevent air leaks
• Helps reduce frost and ice buildup in the chute area
• Minimizes condensation and water droplets at the dispenser opening
• Supports consistent ice flow by limiting clumping from warm air intrusion

• 1 ice chute gasket

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove dispenser trim/control and funnel to access the gasket
• Note orientation; press the new gasket evenly into place without stretching
• Reassemble and verify the ice door closes and seals properly

The Diffuser is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a part responsible for evenly distributing the air flow within the refrigerator compartment, ensuring consistent and efficient cooling throughout the interior.

Causes of a bad Diffuser can include blockages or obstructions that restrict air flow, physical damage or cracks that compromise the diffuser's ability to distribute air properly, or simply wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad Diffuser include:

• Uneven cooling, with some areas being warmer than others 
• Frost buildup or condensation in certain sections of the refrigerator 
• Increased energy consumption as the compressor works harder to maintain desired temperatures 
• Potential food spoilage due to inconsistent cooling

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

This thimble fits inside the refrigerator-compartment door cam and acts as a low-friction bushing on the hinge pin. It helps the door swing smoothly and close securely so the gasket can seal properly.

• Provides a smooth bearing surface between the hinge pin and RC door cam
• Supports proper door alignment and closing action
• Can reduce clicking/squeaking and rough feel during opening or closing
• Wear may show as door drop, poor self-close, or uneven door movement

• Disconnect power and remove items from the door before servicing
• Lift the refrigerator-compartment door off the bottom hinge to access the cam
• Remove the worn thimble from the door cam and press the new thimble fully into place
• Reinstall the door, verify smooth operation, and check the gasket seal

This 8-18 x 5/8-inch screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and covers. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight fit and helps prevent vibration or loosening where this exact size is specified.

• Fastens sheet-metal or plastic components where a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is called for
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce rattling or vibration
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws of the same size
• Common symptoms: loose panels, gaps/poor fit, rattling noises, or visible missing hardware

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water (as applicable) before service
• Match thread and length to the original; replace screws one at a time to keep parts aligned
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• If the receiving threads are damaged, additional repair (clip, insert, or new nut) may be needed

This ice container (ice bin) stores ice made by the icemaker and interfaces with the dispenser drive to deliver cubes or crushed ice. Replacing a cracked or worn bin restores dependable ice storage and dispensing performance.

• Holds finished ice and guides it to the dispenser chute
• Engages the drive to move ice out when the dispenser is activated
• A cracked, warped, or stripped bin can cause no/slow ice dispensing or jams
• Damage may prevent the bin from seating fully or allow ice to spill/frost up

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove the old bin, clear any clumped ice, and seat the new bin so the rear drive interface engages—do not force
• Restore power and allow the icemaker to produce ice before testing dispensing

This pan roller axle fits refrigerator drawers. It's the small support pin that anchors the roller so the crisper or pantry pan glides smoothly. Replacing a damaged axle restores proper glide and keeps the drawer tracking correctly.

• Secures the drawer's roller to the bin or rail so the pan slides smoothly
• Helps keep the crisper/pantry drawer level and properly aligned
• Common symptoms: drawer hard to open/close, sags on one side, scraping/clicking sounds
• Visible damage or a missing axle/roller at the drawer corner

• Unplug the refrigerator, remove contents, and take out the affected drawer
• Locate the broken axle and gently pry/pull it out
• Seat the new axle fully in the mounting hole; ensure the roller spins freely
• Reinstall the drawer and check for smooth operation

This hex drive shaft sits inside the ice bucket auger/crusher assembly. It transfers rotation from the dispenser motor to the auger so ice dispenses and crushes smoothly, helping restore consistent ice flow when the original shaft is worn.

• Couples the dispenser motor to the ice-bin auger/crusher assembly
• Maintains positive hex engagement to reduce slippage under load
• Helps with symptoms such as no ice dispensing, auger not turning while the motor runs, clicking/grinding during dispense, or a visibly rounded/corroded shaft
• Replace if bent, stripped, or excessively worn

• Disconnect power and remove the ice bin before service
• Disassemble the auger/crusher stack, noting the exact order of blades, spacers, and washers (take a photo for reference)
• Transfer all components to the new shaft in the same orientation and reassemble per your model's service information
• Ensure the hex end fully seats in the drive coupling; verify smooth auger rotation before reinstalling the bin; wear cut-resistant gloves—edges and blades are sharp

This water inlet tube routes supply water from the inlet valve into the appliance's internal water path, restoring a secure flow path and helping prevent leaks, spray, or fill problems caused by cracked, brittle, or clogged tubing.

• Directs water from the inlet valve into the unit's water system/tub
• Replaces tubing that is cracked, kinked, brittle, or mineral-clogged
• Helps resolve leaks near the inlet connection or water dripping during/after fill
• Improves fill performance when the original tube is restricted or collapsing

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing

• Helps keep the door aligned and reduces wobble at the hinge
• Typical symptoms of wear: door won't stay closed or bounces open, popping/clicking sounds, rough or uneven door swing, visible flat spots on cam surfaces
• Helps maintain a reliable gasket seal by guiding the door to its closed position

• Disconnect power before servicing; clear and support the door to prevent drops
• Remove hinge cover and fasteners; lift the door off the hinge as needed for access
