• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin; loosen mounting screws; unplug the wire harness; transfer any mounting hardware or shut-off arm from the old unit if needed
• Align the fill cup with the water tube; secure the new assembly and reconnect the harness
• Restore power and water; allow several hours and discard the first batches

This damper cover insert fits the refrigerator's air damper/diffuser. It helps guide and seal airflow from the freezer to the fresh food section, supporting stable temperatures and reducing drafts when the original insert is cracked or missing.

• Seats inside the damper cover to shape and restrict airflow between freezer and refrigerator compartments
• Helps seal the vent opening to limit air leaks
• Supports proper temperature balance and airflow distribution in the fresh food section
• Typical symptoms include a broken/missing insert, air drafts at the vent, rattling from the cover, or inconsistent cooling

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This screw secures the refrigerator door hinge in place, allowing the door operates smoothly and seals properly. 

Over time, screws can become loose or go missing during repairs or adjustments, which can lead to a misaligned door, compromised sealing, and increased energy consumption. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• The refrigerator door seems misaligned or does not close properly.
• Increased effort needed to open or close the door.
• Unusual gaps around the door seal when closed.
• The door might squeak or make other noises during operation.

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