The Whirlpool latch spring is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing the ice container or bin in place on a refrigerator. Its main function is to provide tension and support to the ice container latch, allowing it to engage and disengage properly. When the ice container is inserted into the refrigerator's ice compartment, the latch spring ensures that it securely locks in place, preventing accidental spillage of ice.

Causes of a bad latch spring can include metal fatigue from repeated use, rust or corrosion from exposure to moisture, or physical damage from accidental impacts.

Symptoms of a bad latch spring include:

• The ice container not staying in place and sliding out of position
• Difficulty in properly attaching or detaching the ice container from the refrigerator
• The ice container feeling loose or wobbly when inside the ice compartment
• The ice container not aligning correctly with the ice dispenser or auger

This Power Disconnect Switch is the refrigerator's on/off service switch. It interrupts incoming power when actuated, allowing safe servicing or resetting of the unit without unplugging it and helping prevent unintended operation when access panels are open. What it does:

• Interrupts electrical power to the unit when switched off or tripped
• Provides a dedicated service disconnect for safe maintenance and resets
• Common symptoms: no power, intermittent shutdowns, or the unit won't stay on unless the switch is held/positioned
• Visual clues: broken actuator or heat-discolored/loose terminals

• Power disconnect switch only

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the switch location; on many built-in units it's behind the top grille or control panel
• Move wires one at a time to the new switch to maintain correct orientation
• Restore power and verify the switch cleanly turns the unit on and off

This part is the gasket that is used on refrigerator doors. This part surrounds the perimeter of the refrigerator door and acts as a seal to both keep the cold air in the fridge but also keep the warm air out. It is white in color.Due to normal wear and tear, the gasket may become brittle and wear out over time so that it is no longer effectively sealing the door shut. It can also become torn or cut, which would also require a replacement. A quick visual inspection can determine if it needs to be replaced. If there are folds or creases in the replacement gasket, let it soak in warm water to help straighten it back out.This gasket is compatible with refrigerator units that are manufactured by KitchenAid, Thermador, Jenn-Air, Whirlpool, and Dacor. It is sold as an individual part. This gasket comes directly from the manufacturer.

This is a Whirlpool freezer gasket.If the freezer is having difficulties staying at temperature and the old gasket is damaged or off track, replacing the gasket could fix the problems. A faulty gasket could also lead to higher levels of ice and frost build up in the freezer. This could potentially raise an energy bill because it causes the freezer to stay engaged longer. Higher levels of frost build up could ultimately damage other components. Pull the old gasket out before installing the new one. It doesn't matter if the old part gets snagged or torn when it's taken out since a replacement is ready. Be sure not to break any of the fastening clips around the edge of the freezer. Slowly insert the gasket around the outer edges of the freezer lid, inserting the lip of the gasket into the cut out areas. Make sure the gasket is held tightly in place before shutting the freezer lid.This part is sourced directly from the manufacturer as a genuine OEM replacement part. This gasket is only available individually and is not included with any other parts or the original appliance. This product is compatible with Whirlpool brand freezers.

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This screw plays a small but important structural role, securely fastening the refrigerator door hinges in place.

Causes of a bad screw include normal wear and tear, repeated door opening/closing stress, or accidental damage during cleaning or servicing of the hinge area.

Symptoms of a bad hinge screw include:

• Loose or sagging door that does not close or seal properly
• Increased vibration or noise from the hinge area
• Difficulty opening/closing the door smoothly

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

This condenser fan blade mounts to the fan motor and pulls air across the condenser coil and compressor. Replacing a cracked or warped blade restores airflow so your refrigerator cools efficiently and the compressor runs at a safe temperature.

• Circulates air through the condenser coil and over the compressor to remove heat
• Helps maintain cooling performance and stable system pressures
