Khms2040 Parts

This mounting bracket secures internal components to the appliance cabinet, restoring proper alignment and stability. It replaces worn or damaged brackets to reduce vibration and rattling and help fitted panels sit flush. What it does:

• Secures panels or components to the cabinet framework to maintain alignment
• Reduces vibration and noise caused by loose or broken supports
• Helps prevent further wear on adjacent parts by restoring proper fit
• Addresses symptoms such as loose panels, rattling during operation, or misaligned parts

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, water before starting any repair
• Use basic hand tools; hold components in place while installing new bracket
• Tighten fasteners firmly but avoid over-torquing to prevent striping

Color: Black

This refrigerator water filter cartridge replaces the installed filter to help restore clear, better-tasting water and improve ice quality. It's a direct-fit replacement designed for compatible Whirlpool refrigeration systems. What it does:

• Filters water to reduce common impurities that can affect taste and clarity
• Helps improve the quality of ice produced by the refrigerator
• Can resolve symptoms like cloudy water, off-taste, or reduced water flow from the dispenser
• Restores proper filtration performance when the original filter is expired or clogged

• Follow the refrigerator manufacturer's instructions for removal and installation.
• Run and discard the recommended amount of water after installation to flush the system before use.
• Turn off the water supply and disconnect power if required by your model before servicing.
• Inspect the new filter for damage; do not use a damaged filter.

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help an AC motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce humming, no-start, or stall conditions.

• Provides the phase shift and starting torque an induction motor needs to start
• Helps the motor reach and maintain proper speed under load
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: motor hums but won't start, intermittent starts, slow or stalled rotation, or frequent thermal trips
• Visible clues may include a swollen case or leaking residue

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Capacitors can retain a charge—discharge safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the new capacitor one at a time and ensure snug terminal fit
• Reuse the original bracket/clip if applicable and secure the capacitor to prevent vibration

This molded wire support clip secures wiring and small harnesses to the appliance cabinet or components to prevent rubbing, pinching, or contact with moving/heat-producing parts. It helps reduce chafing and electrical wear for safer, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds wiring harnesses and individual wires in place to prevent contact with sharp edges, motors, or heating elements
• Minimizes wire movement and vibration that can lead to chafing or broken conductors
• Helps maintain proper routing for consistent connections and component performance
• Commonly used where a small push-fit retainer is needed to secure low-voltage or signal wires

• One wire support clip as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Push-fit installation: align clip over wire/harness and press into the mating hole or slot until it snaps in place; clip may require slight flexing
• Inspect surrounding wiring and routing for damage; replace any frayed or exposed wires before reassembly
• If the mounting hole or panel is damaged, use the correct replacement panel or a suitable repair to ensure a secure fit

This piston assembly restores the moving piston used in the appliance's fluid/valve system to help recover proper dispensing and motion. It replaces a worn or damaged piston so the affected function can operate as intended. What it does:

• Replaces the piston that moves inside a valve or dispenser to control fluid or airflow
• Restores proper actuation and sealing that can prevent drips or improper dispensing
• Commonly installed when symptoms include poor dispensing, leaks near the valve area, sticking motion, or unusual noises during operation
• Works as a direct-fit replacement where this OEM piston assembly is specified

• One piston assembly as shown

• Disconnect power (and water supply or gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Follow the appliance service manual and use appropriate tools; keep small fasteners and seals organized
• Inspect sealing surfaces and O-rings; replace damaged seals to ensure a leak-free install
• Test the appliance after installation to confirm correct operation

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature so the control board can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature readings and more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses internal refrigerator temperature and sends a variable resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control system cycle the compressor and fans correctly for stable temperatures
• Commonly replaced when refrigerator runs too cold, too warm, or has irregular cooling cycles
• Can address temperature-error codes or defrost control issues when the sensor is faulty

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the sensor
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage to the probe or connectors
• Install in the original sensor mounting location and secure wiring away from moving parts

This transformer provides the low-voltage power needed by the appliance's control and user-interface circuits so systems like the dispenser, ice maker, or control board can operate reliably. What it does:

• Steps down mains power to low-voltage power for control boards and user-interface components
• Restores power to dispensers, ice makers, timers or control modules that have lost low-voltage supply
• Commonly replaced when control circuits are unresponsive, displays are blank, or dispenser functions fail
• Matches OEM function for direct replacement of the failed transformer

• One replacement transformer

• Disconnect all power to the appliance before starting work to avoid shock hazard
• Handle wiring connections carefully; make secure electrical connections and restore grounding

Replacement plate that restores fit and finish for compatible Whirlpool appliances. Install to replace a cracked, warped, or cosmetically damaged plate and help maintain proper component alignment and appearance. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or worn plate to restore the appliance's original coverage and appearance.
• Helps prevent gaps where food, grease, or debris can collect around the affected area.
• Maintains proper alignment and support for adjacent parts that rely on the plate for mounting or spacing.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Use basic hand tools and follow the OEM diagram for correct orientation and fastener locations.
• Inspect mounting hardware and any gaskets; replace separately if worn or damaged.

This replacement mounting plate secures internal components so the appliance operates quietly and stays aligned. Replacing a damaged or bent plate helps stop rattling, prevent part movement, and restore proper fit between adjoining parts. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting surface for nearby components and fasteners
• Prevents parts from shifting or vibrating during operation
• Helps eliminate rattling or noise caused by a loose or bent plate
• Restores correct alignment where the original plate was damaged or deformed

• One replacement plate

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or turn off circuit) before starting any repair
• Wear gloves and eye protection; edges may be sharp
• Use correct fasteners and torque to avoid bending the new plate;
