The inverter box assembly is the enclosure that houses and protects the appliance's inverter/control electronics, helping ensure reliable power conversion for variable-speed motor operation and secure mounting of wiring and components. What it does:

• Provides a protective housing and mounting for the inverter/control electronics.
• Routes and secures wiring and plug connections to the inverter board.
• Helps prevent moisture, dust, and vibration-related damage to control components.
• When damaged or cracked, may cause intermittent motor operation, error codes, or loss of variable-speed function.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle electronic components carefully and avoid static discharge; use ESD precautions if available.
• Inspect connectors and wiring for damage before reinstalling; replace damaged connectors or harnesses as needed.
• Follow for proper removal, routing, and fastening of the assembly and for torque/spec details.

Size: 10-24 x 3/8 inch.

Size; 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

Replacement rubber boot that seals the washer's drive/transmission shaft where it passes through the tub, helping to reduce leaks and keep grease and water separated for cleaner operation and longer seal life. What it does:

• Helps seal the shaft opening between the tub and drive/transmission to reduce water escaping from the washer base.
• Replaces boots that are cracked, torn, hardened or missing—which are common causes of leaks and grease migration.
• Common symptoms: water pooling under the washer, visible tears or gaps at the tub seam, or grease and debris collecting around the shaft.
• Durable rubber construction resists wear from shaft movement and detergent exposure.

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before beginning any repair.
• Drain the washer and access the shaft area by removing panels/outer tub.
• Inspect nearby seals, gaskets and fasteners while replacing the boot; replace any damaged components to ensure a proper seal.

Electronic control board that replaces a failed console logic module to restore cycle control, timing and display functions. Use this direct-fit board to address unresponsive buttons, incorrect cycles or display and error-code issues. What it does:

• Replaces the appliance's main console control to restore electronic command and timing functions.
• Can resolve symptoms such as unresponsive or stuck buttons, blank or erratic display, and cycles that won't start or complete.
• Communicates with user interface and other modules to manage cycle selection, timing and basic diagnostics.
• Operates as the factory-designed replacement control for affected Whirlpool consoles.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid shock or damage.
• Take a photo of wiring/harness positions before removal; reconnect like-for-like during installation.
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid static discharge; do not touch electronic components.
• Verify the part number on the replacement matches the old board and test appliance functions before reassembling fully.

This genuine OEM return spring restores proper return/tension for the appliance component it connects to, helping controls, latches or hinges snap back into place. Replacing a worn spring can stop sticking, sagging or failed return action. What it does:

• Provides tension to return a lever, latch or door component to its resting position
• Restores crisp return action when a control or hinge feels loose or fails to snap back
• Helps reduce rattling or intermittent contact caused by a weak or broken spring
• Functions quietly once replaced, improving normal operation of the affected mechanism

• Disconnect power and gas before servicing; follow appliance-specific safety instructions
• Springs can be under tension — use proper tools and caution to avoid injury or part damage
• Compare the old spring to the new one for correct length and end type before installation

This is a Whirlpool refrigerator evaporator. The evaporator is the large, winding piece on the rear of a refrigerator. When touched, these components are extremely hot. Refrigerant is propelled through these by the compressor. The extremely cold refrigerant, coupled with the high temperature of the evaporator tubes, cause a reaction that produces cold air when the refrigerant reaches the freezer or refrigerator area. If the evaporator is faulty, the refrigerator area may continue to remain at temperature, but the freezer portion will stop freezing. Cool temperatures may be maintained, but freezing levels will no longer be met. In some cases, the entire until may cease to produce low temperatures at all. This is an indicator of a completely broken component. This product is intended for use in Whirlpool and Kenmore appliances. It is a genuine OEM product and is sourced exclusively from the manufacturer. This part is only available as an individual component.

Instruction sheet included.

This sealed-system compressor circulates refrigerant to cool your refrigerator, restoring normal cooling performance when the compressor fails. Designed to replace a failing compressor and help bring temperatures back to safe food-storage levels. What it does:

• Compresses and circulates refrigerant through the sealed refrigeration circuit
• Restores cooling when the compressor motor runs properly
• Commonly linked to symptoms like weak or no cooling, loud humming or clattering sounds, or a refrigerator that cycles continuously
• May be the cause if the appliance frequently trips a circuit breaker or shows hard-starting behavior

• Sealed-system work requires certified HVAC/refrigeration service and proper refrigerant handling per local regulations
• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; follow lockout/tagout practices
• Compressor replacement often requires system evacuation, brazing, and recharge — do not attempt unless qualified
• Use the identical replacement part number and follow OEM service instructions to avoid damage

A direct-replacement inlet tube that routes incoming water from the valve to the appliance tub. Restores proper water flow and prevents leaks for reliable fills and cycles. What it does

• Channels water from the fill valve to the appliance tub or wash chamber.
• Replaces cracked, split, or deteriorated tubing that causes leaks.
• Helps resolve no-fill or slow-fill symptoms when the valve and hoses are intact.
• Prevents water pooling and potential water damage from failed tubing.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting.
• Inspect and reuse or replace any clamps, seals, or grommets as needed.
• Verify correct orientation and seating to avoid kinks or strain on connections.
• Use basic hand tools; test for leaks after reassembly.
