Symptoms of a bad ice maker motor include:

• Ice maker not producing ice
• Unusual noises coming from the ice maker area
• Ice cubes not being ejected properly
• Motor not running at all

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

Replacement extension that secures or supports a component on select Whirlpool appliances to restore proper fit and alignment. Helps reduce panel or drawer movement and improves smooth operation when a factory extension is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Secures and supports a panel, drawer, or internal component to maintain correct alignment.
• Restores smooth movement and prevents binding or sagging caused by a missing or broken extension.
• Reduces rattling and improves overall fit to help prevent further wear on adjacent parts.
• Works as a direct-fit replacement for the exact OEM extension designed for specific models.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Remove required trim or access panels to reach the mounting area; retain any factory fasteners unless replacement hardware is provided.
• Refer to the appliance's service manual or exploded parts diagram to fit and proper orientation before installing.

This electronic power supply board converts incoming AC power to the low-voltage DC used by the refrigerator's controls and components. Replacing a failed board restores stable power to the UI, fans, lights, and cooling functions.

• Converts line voltage to regulated low-voltage DC for control electronics
• Distributes power to the main control, display, sensors, fans, and valve/relay circuits
• Common signs include a blank or non-responsive control panel, no interior lights or dispenser, intermittent power/clicking, or the unit not running even though the outlet has power
• Failures may follow electrical surges or shorted loads

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing; capacitors may hold a charge
• Use ESD protection and handle the board by its edges
• Photograph/label all connectors; transfer wires one by one and ensure full seating
• Mount securely and inspect for pinched/shorted wires before restoring power

This leaf hinge assembly service kit replaces a worn or damaged door hinge leaf to restore proper door alignment and smooth opening. It's a direct-fit repair designed to correct hinge play and reduce sagging. What it does:

• Replaces the hinge leaf that supports and guides the appliance door
• Restores correct door alignment and prevents rubbing or uneven gaps
• Reduces door sag and helps maintain a proper seal
• Addresses symptoms like noisy or binding door movement and visible hinge wear

• Disconnect power and remove contents from the door before starting any repair
• Support or prop the door securely to prevent dropping when removing the old hinge
• Use basic hand tools; follow the appliance's service instructions for hinge removal and reassembly

This compressor mounting grommet kit replaces worn or damaged rubber mounts that secure the compressor and reduce vibration. Restoring proper mounts helps cut down on compressor noise and prevents movement-related wear. What it does:

• Cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and rattling noise
• Keeps the compressor secured to its mounting bracket during operation
• Helps prevent stress and wear on mounting hardware and tubing
• Addresses symptoms like excessive vibration, banging, or unusual compressor noise

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Support the compressor while removing and installing mounts to prevent strain or shifting
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid over-tightening fasteners that can compress or damage grommets

This replacement screw secures panels, trim pieces and small assemblies so covers and components stay aligned and rattle-free. It's a simple, direct fastening part used when an original screw is missing or damaged. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, control housings and other small components to the appliance chassis
• Replaces missing, worn or stripped screws that cause loose panels or rattling noises
• Restores correct alignment of covers and trims after service or disassembly
• Provides a direct, hardware-level repair instead of temporary fixes

• Disconnect power (and gas, where applicable) and ensure the appliance is cool before starting.
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and turn until snug; do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts.
• Keep removed hardware for reference; replace like-for-like if threads or inserts are damaged.
• Wear eye protection and gloves when working on appliances.

This Support (mounting bracket) secures internal components and stabilizes the appliance's assembly to help prevent sagging, misalignment and excess vibration. It's a small replacement that restores proper fit and reduces rattling. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for panels or internal assemblies
• Keeps components aligned to prevent binding or wear
• Reduces noise caused by loose or sagging parts
• Helps stop intermittent contact or rubbing that can cause rattles

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing
• Access may require removing outer panels or trim; keep track of fasteners
• Support the assembly while replacing the bracket to avoid strain

A roll pin (spring pin) that secures rotating or sliding components by fitting into matched holes to hold shafts, levers, or brackets in place. Replaces a worn or damaged pin to restore proper mechanical engagement. What it does:

• Holds shafts, levers or hinges in position by expanding into drilled holes for a snug, vibration-resistant fit
• Keeps pulleys, rollers, or linkages from moving out of alignment or sliding off their shafts
• Common symptom: loose or wobbling pulley, lever, or shaft where the retaining pin is worn or broken
• Common symptom: noisy or intermittent operation caused by a pin that no longer secures moving parts

• Inspect mating holes and shaft for wear; replace pin with correct size to ensure secure fit
• Use appropriate pliers or a pin punch and hammer to drive the pin in or out; support the assembly to avoid damage
• Wear eye protection when installing or removing roll pins—pins can snap or fly out under force
• If pin is difficult to remove or install, consider using penetrating oil or heating only per OEM guidance

This replacement water fill tube routes water to the appliance's dispenser/ice system so you get proper fill and reduced leaks. It restores reliable water delivery when the original tube is cracked or clogged. What it does:

• Directs water from the supply to the dispenser or ice/water mechanism
• Prevents leaks when intact and properly secured
• Helps ensure consistent water flow for ice makers and dispensers
• Worn or damaged tubes can cause pooling, low water delivery, or intermittent filling
