The Whirlpool latch spring is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing the ice container or bin in place on a refrigerator. Its main function is to provide tension and support to the ice container latch, allowing it to engage and disengage properly. When the ice container is inserted into the refrigerator's ice compartment, the latch spring ensures that it securely locks in place, preventing accidental spillage of ice.

Causes of a bad latch spring can include metal fatigue from repeated use, rust or corrosion from exposure to moisture, or physical damage from accidental impacts.

Symptoms of a bad latch spring include:

• The ice container not staying in place and sliding out of position
• Difficulty in properly attaching or detaching the ice container from the refrigerator
• The ice container feeling loose or wobbly when inside the ice compartment
• The ice container not aligning correctly with the ice dispenser or auger

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

• Failure may present as the condenser fan not running
• May also cause warm temperatures, longer run times, or loud scraping/whirring noises near the rear or bottom of the unit
• Can contribute to the compressor running hot

• Disconnect power before servicing; use gloves to protect from sharp edges
• Access the condenser area; install the new motor in the same orientation as the original
• Transfer the existing fan blade, bracket, and grommets if required; keep wiring clear of the blade
• Restore power and verify fan operation with the system running

Size: 1/4 inch. Nut for plastic water line.

This part shields and positions the temperature control's sensing bulb inside the control housing, helping the control respond accurately and keep cabinet temperatures stable. Replace a cracked, deformed, or missing barrier to restore consistent, predictable cooling. What it does:

• Shields the cold-control thermostat/capillary bulb from direct airflow
• Helps the temperature control sense average compartment temperature and cycle correctly
• Supports steady temperatures and normal run times
• A damaged or missing barrier may contribute to temperature swings or frequent control adjustments

• 1 thermostat barrier

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control housing; remove the dial/cover and any retaining screws or clips
• Note the factory routing of the thermostat capillary; install the barrier without kinking or sharply bending the sensor tube
• Reassemble, set controls to mid-range, and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

The Shelf Stud is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It serves as a support peg that holds the refrigerator shelves in place, ensuring they remain stable and properly positioned.

Causes of a bad shelf stud can include wear and tear from regular use, accidental impact that causes the stud to break, or repeated removal and reinstallation of shelves leading to loosening or damage.

Symptoms of a bad shelf stud include:

• Shelves not staying securely in place
• Shelves tilting or collapsing
• Visible cracks or damage to the stud
• Difficulty in inserting or removing shelves

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

This Power Disconnect Switch is the refrigerator's on/off service switch. It interrupts incoming power when actuated, allowing safe servicing or resetting of the unit without unplugging it and helping prevent unintended operation when access panels are open. What it does:

• Interrupts electrical power to the unit when switched off or tripped
• Provides a dedicated service disconnect for safe maintenance and resets
• Common symptoms: no power, intermittent shutdowns, or the unit won't stay on unless the switch is held/positioned
• Visual clues: broken actuator or heat-discolored/loose terminals

• Power disconnect switch only

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the switch location; on many built-in units it's behind the top grille or control panel
• 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 part is the gasket that is used on refrigerator doors. This part surrounds the perimeter of the refrigerator door and acts as a seal to both keep the cold air in the fridge but also keep the warm air out. It is white in color.Due to normal wear and tear, the gasket may become brittle and wear out over time so that it is no longer effectively sealing the door shut. It can also become torn or cut, which would also require a replacement. A quick visual inspection can determine if it needs to be replaced. If there are folds or creases in the replacement gasket, let it soak in warm water to help straighten it back out.This gasket is compatible with refrigerator units that are manufactured by KitchenAid, Thermador, Jenn-Air, Whirlpool, and Dacor. It is sold as an individual part. This gasket comes directly from the manufacturer.

This refrigerator door gasket compresses against the cabinet to create an air-tight seal. Replacing a worn gasket helps keep cold air in, maintain set temperatures, reduce moisture and frost, and support overall efficiency.

• Forms a continuous perimeter seal so the door closes snugly against the frame
• Helps maintain consistent internal temperatures and proper humidity
• Reduces frost/ice buildup and exterior condensation around the door area
• Signs of failure can include torn or warped rubber, visible gaps, condensation or frost near the door, longer run times, or warming inside the compartment

• Unplug the refrigerator and clear items from the door for easier handling
• Warm the new gasket (room temperature, or gently with a hair dryer on low or warm water) to relax folds—do not overheat
• If retained by screws, loosen the inner-liner retainer, seat the gasket lip starting at the corners, then tighten evenly; for push-in styles, press fully into the channel
• After installation, verify uniform contact all around and adjust door hinges if needed; allow up to 24 hours for the gasket to fully conform

This is a Whirlpool freezer gasket.If the freezer is having difficulties staying at temperature and the old gasket is damaged or off track, replacing the gasket could fix the problems. A faulty gasket could also lead to higher levels of ice and frost build up in the freezer. This could potentially raise an energy bill because it causes the freezer to stay engaged longer. Higher levels of frost build up could ultimately damage other components. Pull the old gasket out before installing the new one. It doesn't matter if the old part gets snagged or torn when it's taken out since a replacement is ready. Be sure not to break any of the fastening clips around the edge of the freezer. Slowly insert the gasket around the outer edges of the freezer lid, inserting the lip of the gasket into the cut out areas. Make sure the gasket is held tightly in place before shutting the freezer lid.This part is sourced directly from the manufacturer as a genuine OEM replacement part. This gasket is only available individually and is not included with any other parts or the original appliance. This product is compatible with Whirlpool brand freezers.
