The air diffuser is the damper assembly that meters cold air from the freezer into the fresh food compartment. Replacing a sticking or broken diffuser restores proper airflow and helps keep refrigerator temperatures balanced and consistent.

• Regulates and directs airflow from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment
• Opens and closes to balance temperatures between sections
• Helps prevent warm spots or freezing near vents in the fresh food area
• Typical symptoms: refrigerator too warm, items freezing near vents, continuous or no airflow through the diffuser, or frost buildup around the diffuser opening

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access from the fresh food section; remove shelves and the diffuser cover/grille to reach the assembly
• Transfer any reusable mounting hardware or seals from the original part
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize; verify airflow through the diffuser

Clip for bottom grill. If your original clip is riveted, order screw WP489478.

This overload protector is a safety device that mounts on the compressor and opens the circuit if overheating or excessive current is detected. Replacing a failed protector can help restore reliable compressor start-up and protect the motor from damage.

• Monitors compressor temperature/current and interrupts power during an overload condition
• Helps prevent compressor overheating and winding damage
• Common symptoms: refrigerator not cooling, compressor won't start, clicking or humming then shutting off, repeated cycling from the rear machine compartment
• Visible heat damage or a burnt odor at the start device area may indicate failure

• Disconnect power before servicing; work in a well-ventilated area
• Access the rear machine compartment; remove the cover to reach the compressor start assembly
• Note wire positions and orientation; the overload fits on the compressor terminal alongside the start device/relay—seat it fully and securely
• Inspect connectors for heat damage and ensure tight, clean terminals before restoring power

These inserts are for 1/4 inch plastic tubing. Package of 4.

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.

This ice deflector guides ice cubes from the icemaker into the ice bin to help keep ice delivery consistent and reduce cube jams or spills. It's a simple replacement that restores proper ice routing in compatible refrigerators. What it does:

• Directs ice cubes from the icemaker into the ice bin for orderly dispensing
• Helps prevent ice clumping and blockages that can stop ice flow
• Keeps ice moving away from the icemaker assembly and into the bin
• Restores proper alignment and function after a cracked or missing deflector

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to avoid electrical or mechanical injury
• Remove the ice bin or access panel per your model's service instructions to reach the deflector
• Part typically snaps or slides into place; reuse existing fasteners unless new hardware is supplied
• After installation, reconnect power and run the icemaker through a cycle; discard any ice made during the repair if contamination is suspected
