Replacement evaporator fan motor designed for the freezer evaporator assembly to restore airflow and help maintain consistent cold temperatures. Use this motor when the original stops running, hums without spinning, or makes unusual noise. What it does:

• Circulates cold air over the evaporator coil so the freezer and refrigerator sections cool evenly.
• Helps prevent frost buildup that can occur when airflow is reduced or stops.
• Common symptoms: freezer warming, reduced cooling, loud humming/clicking, or a motor that won't spin.
• Operates as the airflow source for the evaporator compartment in many Whirlpool refrigerators.

• Unplug the appliance before starting and discharge any stored energy if present.
• Keep fasteners and wiring orientation labeled for correct reassembly; verify connector fit and routing.
• Expect to remove interior panels or the evaporator cover to access the motor; watch for sharp edges.
• After installation, restore power and confirm the motor runs and airflow is restored.

This replacement shaft is the mechanical link that transmits rotation and keeps aligned parts moving together inside your appliance. Replacing a worn or stripped shaft restores smooth, reliable operation of the connected mechanism. What it does:

• Transfers motor or gear torque to the mated component
• Maintains alignment and support within the assembly
• Helps ensure smooth engagement of gears, levers, or augers
• Common symptoms of a failed shaft: connected part won't turn or slips, intermittent operation, grinding/clicking noises, or visible wobble/play at the interface

• 1 shaft

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water supply if applicable
• Note the original orientation and take photos to aid reassembly
• Inspect mating gears/bushings for wear and replace if needed to prevent rapid re-failure
• Align any flats/splines and seat the shaft without forcing; tighten fasteners to manufacturer guidance

This refrigerator water reservoir stores a small volume of water in the fresh food compartment so the dispenser delivers a steady, chilled flow. Replace a cracked or leaking tank to stop interior leaks and restore normal dispensing performance. What it does:

• Holds water for the in-door dispenser between uses
• Lets water cool to refrigerator temperature for consistent dispensing
• Helps maintain steady flow to reduce pulsing at the dispenser
• Common symptoms: leaks inside the fridge, slow or no water from the dispenser, visible cracks/bulges in the tank or connected tubing

• One water reservoir

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the household water supply
• Depressurize the line by dispensing water until the flow stops
• Remove shelves/drawers to access the reservoir (typically behind the crisper area)
• Capture residual water, reconnect fittings securely, then restore water/power and check for leaks; purge air by dispensing several glasses of water

The Housing is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. The housing provides a secure enclosure for the door switch and light bulb. The door switch is responsible for detecting when the refrigerator door is opened or closed, allowing the light bulb to turn on and off accordingly. The light bulb illuminates the refrigerator's interior, making it easy to locate and retrieve items.

A bad housing can occur due to wear and tear, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage. If you notice symptoms such as the light not turning on when the door is opened, difficulty in replacing the light bulb, or a faulty door switch, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad housing include:

• Light not turning on when the door is opened
• Difficulty in replacing the light bulb
• Cracks or damage to the housing

Restore your Whirlpool refrigerator by replacing the worn or damaged housing with this genuine OEM part.

This OEM part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

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

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.
