This thermal overload protector helps prevent motor overheating by interrupting power when temperatures exceed safe limits. It restores normal operation once the motor cools, protecting the appliance from damage and reducing risk of failure. What it does:

• Senses excessive motor temperature and interrupts current to stop the motor from running when overheated
• Helps prevent motor burnout and related electrical damage
• Can resolve symptoms such as a dryer or washer motor that stops mid-cycle, won't start, or trips the circuit during heavy use
• Works as a safety device in the motor circuit rather than a control or relay

• One thermal overload protector

• Disconnect power before accessing or replacing the motor overload; follow appliance-specific service manual steps
• Handle terminals and wiring carefully; replace using the same connections and orientation as the original
• If the motor repeatedly overheats after replacement, inspect motor bearings, venting, or other causes rather than replacing overload repeatedly

The Light Bulb Socket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for housing the bulb that illuminates the interior fridge light. The socket provides a protective casing and stable electrical connection for the light bulb. Its interior components are precisely arranged to safely conduct current to the bulb. 

Causes of a bad light bulb socket can include cracks, loose connections, or damaged internal wiring due to regular use over time.

Symptoms of a bad light bulb socket include:

• The fridge interior light failing to turn on
• The bulb burning out quickly  
• Flickering or intermittent lighting

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

• Restores a secure fit when loose or missing screws cause rattling or misaligned parts
• Prevents further wear or damage from unsecured panels or trim
• Works where a short-length machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or crack plastic parts
• Disconnect power or follow appliance safety procedures before servicing electrical appliances
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating fastener or insert rather than relying on an oversized screw

• Match the original orientation; install the new closer and cup on the hinge/door seats
• Reinstall and align the door; tighten hinge screws and verify smooth self-closing and gasket contact

This genuine-style freezer door gasket creates a tight seal between the freezer door and cabinet to help maintain cold temperatures and reduce frost buildup. Replacing a worn gasket restores a proper seal and improves cooling efficiency. What it does:

• Seals the freezer door to keep cold air in and warm air out
• Helps prevent frost and ice buildup inside the freezer
• Reduces compressor run time caused by air leaks
• Can stop visible gaps or drafts around the freezer door edge

• Disconnect power and remove food before replacing the gasket; allow the freezer to reach room temperature if iced over
• Clean and dry the door sealing surface thoroughly before installing the new gasket
• Warm or flex the gasket slightly to seat it evenly in the channel; avoid overstretching
• Inspect the door retainer and ensure the gasket sits fully in the channel; use only appropriate, non-sharp tools to avoid damage

This door hinge restores smooth, controlled door movement and a tight, secure close. Replace a bent or worn hinge to correct doors that sag, bind, or won't stay closed, helping your appliance seal properly and perform as designed.

• Supports and guides the door through its full range of motion
• Helps keep the door aligned so the gasket compresses evenly for a proper seal
• Controls closing action and stop position to protect the door and frame
• Common symptoms: door won't close flush, sags, pops open, or moves roughly/squeaks

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Support the door; follow the service manual for door removal. Engage hinge locks or use retaining pins if equipped
• Transfer any screws/brackets from the old hinge to the new and install on the correct side if the design is side-specific
• Ensure the latch engages and the gasket seals uniformly all around

This evaporator fan motor drives the internal fan that circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and throughout the fresh food and freezer compartments, helping maintain even temperatures and proper cooling.

• Moves air over the evaporator to remove heat and reduce frost buildup
• Helps restore weak cooling, warm spots, or long run times
• Can resolve frost or ice accumulation on the evaporator cover due to poor airflow

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
