Mbbs/01 Parts

This refrigerator defrost timer automatically starts and ends the defrost cycle to melt frost from the evaporator coils. Replacing a failed timer restores consistent cooling performance and helps prevent frost buildup that can restrict airflow.

• Controls the timed switch between cooling and defrost to keep evaporator coils clear of frost
• Common symptoms of failure: heavy frost on the evaporator or back panel, fresh food section too warm, unit runs constantly, or won't resume cooling after defrost
• Restores proper frost removal and airflow for stable temperatures
• Designed to match the original timer's function and wiring connections for applicable models

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access location varies by model—often in the fresh food control housing or rear machine compartment
• Photograph/label wire positions and transfer them to the matching terminals on the new timer
• Reuse original mounting hardware and install in the same orientation as the original

This is the mechanical cold-control thermostat for the freezer. It senses temperature and switches the cooling system on and off to maintain your selected setting, restoring steady freezer temps and normal compressor cycling.

• Regulates freezer temperature by opening/closing electrical contacts to control cooling
• Symptoms of a failing control include freezer too warm or too cold
• Unit runs constantly, won't start, or won't shut off at set point
• Temperature knob feels unresponsive or no distinct "click" when turned

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control housing; note wiring and transfer leads one at a time
• Route the sensing tube exactly as original; do not kink, pinch, or cut it
• Set to a mid setting after install and allow up to 24 hours for temps to stabilize

This acoustic fiber is the sound-absorbing insulation used in a refrigerator's machine compartment. Replacing a missing or damaged pad reduces operating noise from the compressor area and helps maintain the unit's intended sound levels.

• Absorbs and dampens compressor and condenser fan noise from the rear machine compartment
• Helps reduce vibration resonance transmitted through the cabinet
• Restores sound control when original insulation is torn, saturated, or missing
• Common symptoms: increased humming, buzzing, or rattling from the back or bottom of the refrigerator

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator forward for rear access
• Remove the lower rear access panel and note the insulation's placement/orientation
• Position the new pad in the same location; keep clear of coils, wiring, airflow paths, and moving parts
• Reinstall the access panel and restore power; verify no contact or obstruction

This is an ice maker assembly that is made to be installed on refrigerator and freezer units. This part includes both the ice maker and the housing. The purpose of this part is to make ice that can then be dispensed. In the event that the ice maker is no longer making ice cubes, the ice maker assembly will need to be replaced. Over time, this component could become cracked or broken due to exposure to cold temperatures. Be sure to unplug the refrigerator from the power source before replacing this part. Store any food that could perish in a temperature safe location so that it doesn't go bad during the replacement process.The ice maker is sold individually and sourced straight from the manufacturer. This specific part is compatible with refrigerator and freezer units that are manufactured by the KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Kenmore Elite, Amana, Crosley, Maytag, and Inglis brands.

This refrigerator ice bucket stores ice made by the icemaker and positions it for dispensing. Replacing a cracked or warped bin restores smooth ice flow and helps prevent jams, spills, and mess inside the freezer.
