This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help an AC motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce humming, no-start, or stall conditions.

• Provides the phase shift and starting torque an induction motor needs to start
• Helps the motor reach and maintain proper speed under load
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: motor hums but won't start, intermittent starts, slow or stalled rotation, or frequent thermal trips
• Visible clues may include a swollen case or leaking residue

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Capacitors can retain a charge—discharge safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the new capacitor one at a time and ensure snug terminal fit
• Reuse the original bracket/clip if applicable and secure the capacitor to prevent vibration

This molded wire support clip secures wiring and small harnesses to the appliance cabinet or components to prevent rubbing, pinching, or contact with moving/heat-producing parts. It helps reduce chafing and electrical wear for safer, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds wiring harnesses and individual wires in place to prevent contact with sharp edges, motors, or heating elements
• Minimizes wire movement and vibration that can lead to chafing or broken conductors
• Helps maintain proper routing for consistent connections and component performance
• Commonly used where a small push-fit retainer is needed to secure low-voltage or signal wires

• One wire support clip as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Push-fit installation: align clip over wire/harness and press into the mating hole or slot until it snaps in place; clip may require slight flexing
• Inspect surrounding wiring and routing for damage; replace any frayed or exposed wires before reassembly
• If the mounting hole or panel is damaged, use the correct replacement panel or a suitable repair to ensure a secure fit

This piston assembly restores the moving piston used in the appliance's fluid/valve system to help recover proper dispensing and motion. It replaces a worn or damaged piston so the affected function can operate as intended. What it does:

• Replaces the piston that moves inside a valve or dispenser to control fluid or airflow
• Restores proper actuation and sealing that can prevent drips or improper dispensing
• Commonly installed when symptoms include poor dispensing, leaks near the valve area, sticking motion, or unusual noises during operation
• Works as a direct-fit replacement where this OEM piston assembly is specified

• One piston assembly as shown

• Disconnect power (and water supply or gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Follow the appliance service manual and use appropriate tools; keep small fasteners and seals organized
• Inspect sealing surfaces and O-rings; replace damaged seals to ensure a leak-free install
• Test the appliance after installation to confirm correct operation

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature so the control board can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature readings and more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses internal refrigerator temperature and sends a variable resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control system cycle the compressor and fans correctly for stable temperatures
• Commonly replaced when refrigerator runs too cold, too warm, or has irregular cooling cycles
• Can address temperature-error codes or defrost control issues when the sensor is faulty

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the sensor
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage to the probe or connectors
• Install in the original sensor mounting location and secure wiring away from moving parts

This replacement screw is a general-purpose fastener used to secure exterior panels, trim, or internal components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores proper fit and reduces rattles or loose parts for a safer, more reliable appliance. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim pieces, or mounting brackets to keep components in place
• Prevents vibration-related noise and movement caused by missing or loose fasteners
• Helps maintain alignment of control panels and exterior housings
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or lost screws to restore original fit

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Match screw length and thread engagement with the original for a secure fit
• Tighten to snug only; over-tightening can strip threads or crack panels
• Disconnect power before performing repairs on electrical components

Replacement interlock spring that provides tension for the appliance door latch so the door closes and the interlock switch can engage for normal operation. Restores reliable door engagement and latch return in compatible Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Provides tension to the door latch/interlock assembly so the door stays securely closed during use.
• Ensures the latch returns to the closed position and allows the interlock switch to complete the appliance's safety circuit.
• Helps resolve symptoms such as a loose or non-returning latch, door that won't stay closed, or cycles that stop because the door won't engage.
• Works as a direct replacement for the listed interlock spring in compatible Whirlpool assemblies.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock or injury.
• Basic hand tools are typically required; panels or the door may need partial disassembly—refer to the model's service guide.
• Inspect the latch, striker, and interlock switch for wear or damage and replace if needed; improper installation can prevent correct engagement.

This lamp holder, also called a light socket, secures the bulb and provides the electrical connection so the appliance light works reliably. Replace a heat-damaged or loose socket to restore steady illumination.

• Holds the bulb in place and provides electrical contacts
• Helps fix a light that won't turn on, flickers, or works intermittently
• Addresses signs of heat damage, arcing, or a burnt/melted socket
• Ensures proper bulb seating for consistent lighting

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Allow the area to cool and handle glass bulbs with care
• Transfer wires to the new holder one at a time to maintain correct connections
• Microwaves contain high-voltage components; avoid internal access unless properly trained

This replacement power cord supplies electricity to the appliance so it can run safely and reliably. It replaces a worn, frayed or damaged cord to restore steady power and reduce risk of electrical problems. What it does:

• Delivers mains power from the outlet to the appliance's internal wiring
• Replaces cords with visible damage, exposed wires, or broken plug ends
• Stops intermittent power or complete loss of power caused by a damaged cord
• Helps prevent arcing and poor connections when original cord has failed

• Always disconnect power at the wall or breaker before inspecting or replacing the cord
• Secure the cord strain relief and ensure wire connections are tight and correctly routed

A replacement plate used to secure or cover internal components and restore proper fit and protection for your appliance. This stamped metal plate helps keep parts aligned and shields wiring and openings from debris. What it does

• Secures or anchors nearby components to maintain correct alignment and operation
• Covers openings or service areas to protect wiring and insulation from debris
• Helps reduce vibration or rattling by providing a stable mounting surface
• Restores the original enclosure fit and appearance after part removal or repair

• One replacement plate as shown

• Provides a sturdy grip surface to open and close the appliance door reliably
• Replaces cracked, broken, or visibly worn handles that affect appearance and usability
• Restores proper leverage and alignment to help the door latch and seal correctly
• Reduces wobble or movement from loose or stripped handle hardware

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair.
• Handle typically installs with mounting screws hidden under a trim or end cap—retain all fasteners.
• Use basic hand tools; avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the new handle.
