Rsd22004 Parts

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.

• Holds and contains ice cubes in the freezer for easy access and dispensing
• Interfaces with the auger/crusher assembly in dispenser-equipped models
• Helps correct issues like ice jamming or inconsistent dispensing caused by a damaged bin
• Addresses visible damage such as cracks, chips, warping, or a bucket that won't seat properly
• Can reduce stray ice or moisture under/around the bin when the original is compromised

• Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the icemaker/water supply before starting
• Remove the old bin; transfer any auger/crusher components from the original if your model uses them
• Seat the new bucket fully so it latches/aligns correctly with the drive
• Restore power and verify proper dispensing operation

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

This factory screw secures appliance components to their mounting points. Replace missing, worn, or stripped hardware to restore a tight fit, proper alignment, and quieter operation across the affected assembly.

• Fastens panels, brackets, covers, or internal parts to the chassis or frame
• Helps maintain alignment and support, reducing rattle, vibration, or looseness
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that have backed out, broken, or stripped
• Restores secure mounting after service when original hardware is lost

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Match length and thread to the original location; do not substitute with longer hardware
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal

This defrost timer controls the automatic defrost cycle in select refrigerators and freezers, switching between cooling and defrost to clear frost on the evaporator. It helps maintain stable temperatures and prevents heavy ice buildup and long run times. What it does:

• Alternates the system between cooling and defrost on a timed schedule
• Sends power to the defrost heater during defrost, then returns power to the compressor and fans
• Failure can cause heavy frost on the evaporator/back freezer wall
• May lead to warmer temperatures, constant running, short cycling, or no-cool if stuck in defrost

• 1 defrost timer

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access location varies by model
• Note wire positions and transfer them one at a time to the new timer
• Mount securely in the same orientation as the original and verify normal cycling after power is restored

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

Ice maker water line: 1/4x 8ft.

This speed clip is a small retainer that slides over a panel edge to provide a captive thread for a screw. Replacing a worn or missing clip restores a tight, rattle-free hold on the attached component. What it does:

• Slides over a panel or bracket to create a captive thread for a mounting screw
• Maintains tension to resist vibration and loosening
• Helps when a screw spins or won't tighten due to a missing retainer
• Addresses loose, rattling, or misaligned panels or trim

• 1 speed clip

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Note the original clip's location and orientation for correct fit
• Fully seat the clip on the edge; start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten; ensure the component is secure and noise-free

Left Side

This PTC start relay mounts on the compressor and briefly powers its start winding to get it running, then drops out. Replacing a weak relay can restore reliable starts and resolve clicking/humming with no cooling.

• Provides the initial boost to the compressor via a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) element, then opens as it heats
• Takes the start winding out of the circuit once the compressor is running
• Typical failure symptoms: compressor won't start, repeated clicking/humming, no cooling, visible heat damage at the relay or connector
• Direct replacement for the original PTC start device used on applicable models

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Access the compressor compartment, remove the cover, and note the relay's orientation; pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins
• Inspect wiring terminals for heat damage; do not reuse burnt connectors
• Firmly seat the new relay on the compressor terminals, reinstall the cover, restore power, and verify compressor start

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.

This support mounts in the dispenser area to secure the ice housing assembly. It helps keep the chute and door properly aligned so ice dispenses smoothly and the opening seals as designed.

• Supports and positions the ice housing/chute assembly in the freezer door
• Helps maintain proper alignment and sealing of the ice door/flapper
• Reduces wobble or flex that can affect dispensing performance
• Typical signs it may be needed: loose or misaligned dispenser housing, ice or air leaking at the chute, frost buildup around the dispenser, inconsistent ice dispensing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/control to access the housing; handle wiring and tabs carefully
• Remove mounting fasteners, replace the support, and transfer any reusable hardware
• Reassemble, restore power, and test ice dispensing and chute seal

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, or trim on compatible Whirlpool appliances to restore proper fit and reduce rattles and movement. Use it when a fastener is missing, loose, or stripped. What it does:

• Secures appliance panels, trim pieces, brackets, or small components in place
• Restores proper fit to eliminate rattling, gaps, or shifting parts
• Replaces missing, worn, or damaged screws that compromise mounting
• Matches OEM form and function when the correct screw is specified for the repair

• Turn off power to the appliance before working near controls, heating elements, or wiring
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head; do not overtighten
• Keep removed screws in a container to ensure none are lost during reassembly
