Symptoms of a bad spacer include: 

• Misaligned or loose door walls and panels
• Cold air leakage around the door perimeter
• Difficulty closing doors completely flat
• Visible broken pieces inside door walls

This OEM Whirlpool replacement spacer restores critical door insulation integrity. Its durable construction supports tight door seals to maintain interior climate control.

Replace yours if any issues arise. This part is also compatible with some GE, Crosley, and select Kenmore side-by-side models. Reliable seal performance relies on an OEM spacer replacement when failing.

This genuine replacement door gasket creates an airtight seal around the refrigerator door to help maintain proper temperature and efficiency. It restores sealing performance to reduce frost buildup and stabilize internal cooling. What it does:

• Seals the refrigerator door edge to keep cold air in and warm air out
• Helps prevent frost and ice buildup in the freezer/refrigerator compartment
• Reduces compressor run time caused by a leaking door seal
• Improves temperature consistency for food preservation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Clean and dry the door flange thoroughly before installing the new gasket
• Press the gasket into the channel evenly, working around the door to align the magnetic lip
• Inspect the seal after installation and allow normal operation to seat the gasket; check for gaps and re-seat if needed

This compressor grommet is the rubber isolator that cushions the refrigerator's compressor at its mounting points. Replacing a worn grommet helps quiet vibration and rattling and reduces stress on refrigerant tubing for smoother, safer operation.

• Isolates the compressor from the base to damp vibration and humming
• Helps prevent metal-to-metal contact and rattling at the mounts
• Supports proper compressor alignment to reduce stress on tubing
• Helps with symptoms like loud buzzing/rattling or cracked/flattened rubber at the compressor feet

• Unplug the appliance and remove the rear access cover to reach the compressor area
• Support the compressor while removing hardware; replace the grommet in the same orientation
• Avoid kinking or stressing refrigerant lines; no sealed-system opening is required
• Tighten mount fasteners evenly and ensure the compressor sits level and isolated

• Forms the front wall and grasp point of the refrigerator's crisper drawer
• Helps keep produce contained and reduces spills into the fresh food section
• Direct replacement for a broken, cracked, or missing crisper front
• Helps restore proper drawer alignment and operation when the original front is damaged

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing.
• Pull out the crisper drawer and place it on a padded surface.
• Release retaining tabs or screws to remove the old front; transfer any reusable hardware or trim.
• Align and snap or fasten the new front to the drawer; reinstall the bin and test movement.
