Kitchenaid Kssc36qts00 Parts

This refrigerator compressor is the heart of the sealed cooling system. It compresses and circulates refrigerant so the fresh food and freezer sections reach and maintain set temperatures, restoring cooling performance when the original unit has failed.

• Compresses and moves refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat from the cabinet
• Restores cooling when a failed or seized compressor is the cause of no-cool/weak-cool conditions
• Symptoms include a warm refrigerator or freezer, extended run time with little cooling
• Clicking or humming from the compressor area with no start, or overheating and cycling on overload

• Sealed-system service requires EPA Section 608 certification, recovery equipment, brazing, deep vacuum, and precise recharging
• Disconnect power and properly recover refrigerant before opening the system; replace the filter-drier, braze with nitrogen purge, leak-test, evacuate, then charge to the specification on the model's data plate
• Transfer any model-specific grommets, brackets, tubing, and external inverter/start components from the original unit or replace as directed in the service manual

This ice door motor drives the dispenser flap that opens for ice dispensing and closes to seal the chute. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores smooth door movement and helps prevent warm air and moisture from entering the freezer. What it does:

• Actuates the ice chute door during dispensing and returns it closed for a proper seal
• Helps reduce frost, condensation, and ice clumping around the dispenser
• Can address ice not dispensing due to the door not opening/closing
• May resolve clicking or grinding noises from the dispenser area

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove dispenser trim/control panel to access the ice door assembly; handle wiring carefully
• Note linkage and wire orientation before removal to ensure proper reassembly
• After installation, test the dispenser to verify the door opens/closes and seals the chute

This door bracket connector links the door bracket to its mating linkage in select refrigerator door assemblies. Replacing a worn or broken connector restores a solid connection so the door operates smoothly and stays properly aligned. What it does:

• Couples the door bracket to the hinge/actuator linkage to maintain alignment
• Helps ensure smooth door opening and closing
• Supports proper door sealing to reduce gaps or misalignment
• Replace if cracked, broken, or missing; common symptoms include a loose, clicking, or misaligned door

• Disconnect power before servicing; support the door as needed to prevent strain on hinges
• Remove the relevant bracket/cover to access the connector; note the connector's orientation
• Transfer and reuse existing screws/fasteners
• After installation, check door alignment and gasket contact all around

This door hinge restores smooth, aligned door operation. Replacing a worn hinge ensures the door opens and closes properly, supports the door's weight, and helps the gasket seal evenly to reduce air or heat loss.

• Provides the pivot point that lets the door open and close smoothly
• Maintains door alignment so the seal sits flush against the cabinet
• Helps prevent sagging, rubbing, or binding at the door edge
• Common symptoms: door drops or won't close flush, squeaks/pops, visible play or hinge damage

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply if applicable
• Support the door before removing hinge fasteners to prevent strain or damage
• Transfer any spacers/bushings from the old hinge to the new hinge if present
• Reinstall and verify door alignment and seal contact; adjust as needed

Water tube connector that joins two sections of a refrigerator's water tubing for a secure, leak-resistant connection. Replacing a cracked or leaking connector can help restore consistent water flow to the dispenser and ice maker.

• Connects two lengths of refrigerator water tubing in the supply, filter, dispenser, or ice maker circuit
• Helps maintain a sealed connection to reduce leaks and air intrusion
• Common symptoms of failure: dripping at the fitting, water under the unit, weak/no dispensing, or ice maker not filling
• Replace if the connector is cracked or will not hold tubing securely

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply
• Dispense water to relieve line pressure; place a towel under the connection
• Cut tube ends square; push each tube fully into the connector until seated, then tug gently to confirm engagement
• Restore water and check carefully for leaks before reconnecting power

This Drip Tray catches stray drips and condensation from the area it serves, helping keep nearby surfaces dry and tidy. Replacing a cracked or missing tray reduces puddles, staining, and recurring cleanup. What it does:

• Collects drips, splashes, and minor overflows to protect surrounding surfaces
• Helps direct moisture away to reduce puddling and mineral buildup
• Removable design makes routine cleaning quick and easy
• Common symptoms: cracks or warping, discoloration, persistent water around the tray area, or the tray not seating securely

• 1 drip tray

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the old tray and clean the seating area for proper fit
• Align and fully seat the new tray without forcing
• Restore power/water and monitor initial operation to confirm drips collect properly

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

• Informs defrost timing to reduce frost/ice buildup
• Failure may present as temperature swings, food too warm or freezing, long run times, or temperature-related error codes/alarms

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the sensor location; note original wire routing and placement
• Move any existing clip/insulation to the new sensor and connect securely; mount in the same position for accurate readings
• Restore power and allow time for temperatures to stabilize
