This condenser fan motor spins the fan that moves air across the condenser coils and around the compressor. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores proper heat removal so the cooling system can maintain stable temperatures and run efficiently.

• Drives the condenser fan to move airflow through the condenser section
• Helps dissipate heat from the refrigeration system and cool the compressor
• 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

This ice maker shut-off arm is the wire lever that detects the ice bin level and stops production when raised. Replace a bent, broken, or missing arm to restore reliable on/off control of your icemaker.

• Monitors bin fullness; in the up position it opens the internal switch to pause ice making
• Lowers as ice is used so the icemaker can resume cycles
• Restores manual shutoff when you lift the arm

• Disconnect refrigerator power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin for access; open the icemaker front cover if your model has one
• Pull the old arm straight out of the pivot holes; align and fully seat the new arm so it moves freely
• Restore power and lower the arm to resume ice production; the arm raises and stops production when the bin is full

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 is a rear stud with a screw. For the front stud with screw use part number W11223328. For studs with no screw use kit part number 4388538.

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 push-button door switch senses when your refrigerator door opens and closes to control the interior light. Replace a worn or stuck switch to restore reliable lighting and proper on/off operation when the door moves. What it does:

• Turns the interior light on when the door opens and off when it closes
• Common fix for a light that won't turn on with the door open
• Resolves lights that stay on continuously with the door closed
• Addresses intermittent lighting from a sticking or damaged plunger

• One door switch

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Carefully pry the old switch from the liner; protect the surface to avoid damage
• Transfer wires to the new switch one at a time to maintain correct connections
• Press the new switch fully into place and restore power to test operation

Note: Extension only. For shut off arm, order W11251736.

White. For black order WP2186494B. For biscuit order WP2186494T.

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

This icemaker fill cup guides incoming water from the refrigerator's inlet tube into the ice mold, helping prevent splashing and freeze-ups during the fill cycle. Replacing a cracked or missing cup restores consistent fills and reduces leaks.

• Directs water from the fill tube straight into the icemaker mold
• Helps prevent overspray, splashing, and ice buildup around the icemaker
• Replace if the cup is cracked, warped, loose, or missing
• Common symptoms: water dripping/freezing under the icemaker, clumped or misshapen cubes

• Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the icemaker assembly as needed to access the inlet/fill area
• Release the old cup and seat the new cup so the fill tube aligns with the opening
• Restore water and power; check for proper fill and any leaks

• Distributes power to loads such as motors, pumps, valves, fans, and heaters
• Failure symptoms can include no start, won't complete a cycle, erratic operation, error codes, or components not receiving power

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Use ESD precautions; handle the board by edges and avoid touching connector pins
• Photograph wiring and transfer any brackets or covers from the old board; seat all connectors fully
• Reinstall panels and run the model's diagnostic or test cycle per the tech sheet to verify operation
