This replacement refrigerator door gasket restores a tight seal between the door and cabinet to help maintain proper temperature and reduce frost and moisture. Use it when the existing seal is torn, warped, or not sealing evenly.

• Creates an airtight barrier around the door to limit warm air infiltration and cold air loss
• Helps minimize frost/ice buildup and condensation at the door opening
• Replaces cracked, shrunken, or deformed gaskets that leave gaps or air leaks
• Common symptoms include visible tears, moisture on or around the seal, temperature fluctuations, or a door that won't seal fully

• Unplug the refrigerator; allow the new gasket to warm to room temperature. Gentle warming (hot water bath or low heat) can help relax kinks.
• Clean the door's sealing surface. Remove the old gasket carefully to avoid damaging any retaining channel.
• Fit corners first, then work along the sides for an even, uniform seal. Design and attachment method vary by model.
• Close the door and check for even contact (dollar-bill test). Readjust gasket seating or door alignment as needed.

A replacement drain pan that captures defrost and condensation water to keep it contained and away from the cabinet and floor. Restores the appliance's normal water-collection path and helps reduce leaks. What it does:

• Collects melting ice and condensation from the evaporator to prevent water from pooling under the appliance.
• Channels collected water toward the drain system so it evaporates or exits as designed.
• Stops common symptoms like puddles or moisture under the unit and musty odors caused by standing water.
• Fits under the evaporator/coil area to restore proper water management.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service to avoid electrical hazards.
• Remove the required access panels or move the appliance per the manufacturer's guidance to reach the pan.
• Lift out the old pan carefully—it may contain standing water—and position the replacement so the drain outlet and routing match the OEM layout.
• After installation, restore power and check for proper water flow during a defrost cycle; inspect surrounding seals and tubing for proper seating.

This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Holds the thermostat firmly against the evaporator line for proper temperature feedback
• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

This 10-16 screw secures panels, brackets, and internal components in your appliance. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a snug fit, reduces vibration and rattling, and keeps parts properly anchored for reliable operation.

• Provides 10-16-thread fastening for sheet metal, plastic, and bracket assemblies
• Direct replacement for a missing, worn, or stripped factory screw
• Helps address loose or rattling panels or covers that won't stay secured
• Supports proper alignment and retention of internal components

• Disconnect power; shut off water and/or gas before servicing
• Match the new screw to the original location and length; replace like-for-like
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver for the head style
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin sheet metal

Defrost heater melts frost and ice from the refrigerator's evaporator coils so the cooling system can run efficiently. Replacing a failed heater restores proper defrost cycles and helps prevent frost-related cooling issues. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator to melt accumulated frost and ice on the coils.
• Restores normal airflow and consistent temperatures when frost buildup reduces cooling performance.
• Common symptom linkage: visible frost or ice on the evaporator, long or continuous run cycles, or uneven/warmer compartments.
• Works with the defrost thermostat and control to complete the defrost cycle.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the evaporator or heater — always prioritize safety.
• Handle evaporator fins and the heater element carefully to avoid damage; follow OEM routing and attachment points.
• Verify heater continuity and inspect the defrost thermostat and control before and after replacement; replace any failed defrost components as needed.

Size; 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

This hose clamp secures a rubber or plastic hose to its fitting on your appliance, maintaining a tight, leak-resistant seal under vibration and pressure. Replace when the old clamp is rusted, bent, or no longer holds tension. What it does:

• Clamps around a hose to grip the fitting and seal the joint
• Helps prevent drips, leaks, and hose blow-off at the connection
• Restores secure clamping force when the original is worn or damaged
• Common symptoms: water at the connection, hose slipping off, visible corrosion or distortion

• 1 hose clamp

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Slide clamp onto hose, seat hose fully on the fitting, then position clamp just behind the bead/raised lip
• Tighten or compress evenly with the appropriate tool; avoid overtightening that could damage the hose
• After reassembly, run a short test and inspect for leaks

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.

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
