• Move wires one at a time to the new switch to maintain correct orientation
• Restore power and verify the switch cleanly turns the unit on and off

This flexible perimeter seal fits around the refrigerator door to keep cold air in and humid air out. Replacing a worn gasket restores a tight closure, stabilizes temperatures, and helps reduce frost, condensation, and energy waste. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the door and cabinet to prevent air leaks
• Helps maintain proper internal temperature and humidity
• Reduces frost and condensation caused by warm-air infiltration
• Corrects: visible gaps, torn/cracked gasket, door not sealing or popping open, excess moisture or frost

• 1 refrigerator door gasket

• Unplug the refrigerator before starting
• Lay the new gasket flat and warm it (warm water or low heat) to relax folds
• Remove the old gasket and clean the sealing surface/channel thoroughly
• Install starting at the corners, ensure the gasket is fully seated and evenly contacting the cabinet; adjust door alignment if needed

Color: clear. It measures about 6 inches wide by 3-1/2 inches high by 15 inches deep.

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This screw plays a small but important structural role, securely fastening the refrigerator door hinges in place.

Causes of a bad screw include normal wear and tear, repeated door opening/closing stress, or accidental damage during cleaning or servicing of the hinge area.

Symptoms of a bad hinge screw include:

• Loose or sagging door that does not close or seal properly
• Increased vibration or noise from the hinge area
• Difficulty opening/closing the door smoothly

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

This gasket/seal creates a tight barrier between two mating parts in your appliance to prevent leaks and performance loss. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper sealing and helps stop seepage at the joint. What it does

• Forms a reliable seal between components to prevent fluid or air leaks
• Maintains proper operation by keeping the sealed area contained
• Replaces gaskets that are brittle, cracked, flattened, or swollen
• Common signs include residue or moisture around the joint, visible wear on the old gasket, or a loose/poor seal

• 1 gasket/seal

• Disconnect power and any water or gas supply before servicing
• Note the gasket's orientation; compare old and new parts before installation
• Clean and dry mating surfaces; remove old adhesive and debris
• Seat the gasket evenly; do not overtighten fasteners; test for leaks after reassembly

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

This door gasket is the replacement seal that fits around an oven door to help contain heat and maintain cooking temperature. Replacing a worn gasket improves oven efficiency and reduces heat loss for more consistent results. What it does

• Seals the oven door to retain heat and maintain set temperatures.
• Helps prevent heat and smoke from escaping during use.
• Can reduce uneven cooking and long cook times caused by leaks.
• Helps limit high exterior temperatures around the door area.

What's included One door gasket. Install notes

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before starting work.
• Seat the gasket evenly into the door channel or retainer per OEM instructions; do not force or overstretch.
• Do not use adhesives unless the manufacturer specifies them; check door alignment and the seal after installation.

This crisper cover forms the shelf over your refrigerator's produce drawers. It supports the glass insert and food stored above while providing a smooth surface for the drawers to slide, restoring structure if the original is cracked or warped. What it does:

• Creates the flat shelf/lid above the crisper compartment
• Supports the crisper shelf glass and items placed on top
• Helps drawers open and close smoothly without binding
• Replaces cracked, sagging, or broken covers that won't sit level

• Includes 1 crisper cover

• Unplug the refrigerator and clear the shelf area
• Remove crisper drawers and lift out the glass insert
• Set the new cover on the support tabs/pegs and ensure it sits flat
• Reinstall the glass insert and slide drawers back in

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 PTC start relay mounts on the compressor and momentarily powers the start winding to get the motor running, then disengages for normal operation. Replacing a weak relay can stop repeated clicking and help restore cooling.

• Provides initial boost to the compressor's start winding for reliable startup
• Automatically drops out after startup so the compressor runs on the run winding
• Helps address symptoms like warm temperatures, compressor clicking or humming without starting, or frequent overload trips
• Failure may show as rattling, burn marks, or a melted relay housing

• Disconnect power and remove the rear access panel to reach the compressor
• Allow components to cool; note wire locations and take a reference photo
• Pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins; align and firmly seat the new relay in the same orientation, then reconnect wires
• If your unit uses a run capacitor and/or separate overload protector, reconnect per the wiring diagram before restoring power

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.
