The Cabinet Trim is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to provide a seamless and finished appearance to the side of your refrigerator cabinet. It covers any exposed edges or gaps, creating a polished look and protecting the appliance.

A bad cabinet trim can occur due to wear and tear, damage, or improper installation. If you notice symptoms such as loose or missing trim, gaps between the refrigerator and the surrounding cabinetry, or an unfinished appearance, it may be time to replace the cabinet trim.

Symptoms of a bad cabinet trim include:

• Loose or missing trim pieces
• Gaps between the refrigerator and surrounding cabinetry
• Unfinished or unappealing appearance

Repair your refrigerator by replacing the faulty or damaged cabinet trim with this genuine OEM part.

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

Replacement screw that secures panels, brackets, and other components inside your appliance, keeping assemblies tight and aligned. Replace missing or stripped hardware to eliminate looseness, reduce vibration, and restore a solid, factory-fit hold.

• Fastens panels, brackets, trim, or internal components
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce rattling/vibration
• Replaces missing, loose, rusted, or stripped hardware
• Common signs: stripped head/threads, loose panel, buzzing/rattling noises

• Disconnect power before service; shut off gas/water if applicable
• Match to the original screw; start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver size to prevent stripping
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten. If it won't hold, inspect the receiving hole/clip

This thermistor is the refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors cabinet temperature and sends readings to the control board so the appliance maintains consistent cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to restore proper temperature sensing and cycling. What it does:

• Senses internal refrigerator/freezer temperature and reports readings to the control board.
• Helps the control board regulate compressor and fan cycles for consistent cooling.
• Commonly fails when readings are erratic or the refrigerator runs too cold or too warm.
• Safe, widely reported symptom: temperature not stable or incorrect defrost behavior.

• One thermistor temperature sensor.

• High-level replacement: access may require removing interior liners or control covers.
• Disconnect power before testing or replacing to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently to avoid damage; secure connectors fully.

This insulation panel helps reduce heat transfer in the refrigerator cabinet so the appliance holds cold temperatures more efficiently and reduces frost buildup. It's a direct-fit replacement for the factory cabinet insulation. What it does:

• Slows thermal transfer between the cabinet and ambient air to help maintain interior temperatures
• Helps reduce frost buildup on evaporator and interior surfaces
• Improves cooling efficiency by minimizing cold-air loss
• Quietly adds a layer of thermal and acoustic insulation behind the liner

• Disconnect power and remove food before starting any repair
• Access requires removing the interior liner or trim
• Handle gently and wear gloves; insulation can tear or shed fibers
• Follow OEM instructions for adhesive or fastener placement and secure fit

This replacement gasket seals a freezer/refrigerator door panel to help maintain proper temperature and reduce energy loss. It restores a tight door seal to improve cooling consistency and prevent frost buildup. What it does:

• Forms an airtight seal around the door panel to keep cold air inside
• Helps prevent warm air infiltration that can cause frost, ice buildup, or temperature swings
• Reduces strain on the compressor by maintaining consistent cabinet temperature
• Can stop visible gaps or drafts around the door edge

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Remove the old gasket carefully to avoid damaging the door or trim
• Align the new gasket in the channel and press evenly; some gaskets require gentle heating or gradual seating for a snug fit
