This small yet essential component is used to secure various parts of the refrigerator, such as shelves, panels, or brackets, ensuring stability and proper alignment. Its durable design ensures reliable performance in the demanding environment of a refrigerator.

Causes of a bad or missing Nut can include wear over time, accidental stripping of threads, or loss during maintenance or repairs. A damaged or missing nut can lead to loose components and reduced functionality.

Symptoms of a bad or missing Nut include:

• Loose or wobbly shelves, brackets, or panels
• Difficulty keeping refrigerator components securely in place
• Rattling or unusual noises during operation

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

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This factory rivet is used to permanently fasten appliance panels and hardware. Replacing a worn or missing rivet restores a tight, rattle-free fit and keeps panels, brackets, or trim aligned as designed. What it does:

• Permanently secures sheet-metal or plastic parts where a rivet was originally installed
• Helps maintain alignment and rigidity; reduces vibration and rattling
• Replace if the original rivet is missing, loose, corroded, or drilled out during service
• Common symptoms include loose panel/trim pieces, buzzing noises, or visible gaps

• 1 rivet

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Remove the old rivet by carefully drilling through the rivet head; support nearby parts to prevent damage
• Install the new rivet with a suitable rivet tool; it seats fully and securely
• Wear eye protection when drilling or riveting; rivets are single-use and should not be reused

Does not come with wiring harness.

This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Holds the thermostat firmly against the evaporator line for proper temperature feedback
• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

This sheet-metal pan-head screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components to the cabinet or frame. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit and helps stop rattles, misalignment, and loosening.

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, covers, ducts, and brackets to the appliance chassis
• Helps keep components aligned and secure during operation
• Replace if the original is missing, rusted, stripped, or damaged
• Common symptoms: loose or vibrating panels, gaps or misaligned parts, hardware that won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply before servicing
• Support the panel or part being attached; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit; tighten snugly but do not overtighten into sheet metal
• If multiple matching screws secure a part, consider replacing them as a set for consistent hold

Replacement cold control that restores temperature regulation in compatible refrigerators. Installs behind the temperature knob to control compressor cycling, helping stabilize interior temperature and stop constant running or temperature swings. What it does:

• Regulates refrigerator temperature by switching compressor/fan operation on and off.
• Replaces a failed temperature control that causes inconsistent cooling or interior temps that are too warm or too cold.
• Can stop issues like the compressor running continuously or frequent temperature fluctuations.
• Works with compatible refrigerator control housings and knobs.

• Disconnect power before replacing the control to avoid shock or injury.
• Note wire locations and knob orientation before removing; reconnect wires to the same terminals.
• Handle the control carefully and avoid bending or stressing mounting tabs and contacts.
• After installation, restore power and verify proper cycling and temperature stabilization.

An adjustable leveler that supports and raises or lowers the appliance to help stabilize it on uneven floors. Restores proper alignment to reduce rocking, vibration, and door misalignment for improved performance and safety. What it does:

• Provides height adjustment to level the cabinet and prevent rocking
• Helps doors close and seal correctly by correcting leaning or unevenness
• Reduces vibration and movement that can cause noise or wear
• Simple turn-to-adjust design for fine tuning appliance position

• Unplug the appliance (and shut off water supply for units with plumbing) before working nearby
• Support the appliance when adjusting so it does not tip; use a helper or appliance dolly as needed
• Turn the leveler by hand or with a wrench; adjust both front/back or left/right sides evenly and re-check with a level

This silicone lubricant is used during appliance service to condition rubber seals and O-rings, especially in dishwashers. It eases installation and helps new seals seat properly for a reliable, leak-resistant connection on pumps, valves, and hose fittings.

• Lubricates rubber seals, O-rings, and gaskets to prevent rolling, tearing, or binding during assembly
• Helps seals seat correctly to support leak-resistant joints
• Aids insertion of hoses, plastic fittings, and pump components
• Helpful when reassembling sump, diverter, inlet, and drain connections
• Common signs it may be needed: difficulty installing seals, seals that dislodge, or seepage after a seal replacement

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Clean and inspect mating surfaces; replace any cracked, flattened, or cut seals
• Apply a light, even film to the rubber part only; avoid over-application
• Wipe away excess; do not use lubricant to compensate for damaged seals—replace them

This condenser fan blade is the rotating plastic blade that moves air across the condenser coils to help remove heat from the refrigerator. Replacing a damaged blade restores proper airflow for more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Spins on the condenser fan motor to circulate air over condenser coils
• Helps dissipate heat so the compressor and fridge run efficiently
• Can cause reduced cooling or higher temperatures if broken or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Inspect the fan motor shaft and mounting for wear; replace motor if shaft is damaged
• Handle the blade carefully to avoid cracking; ensure blade is seated and secured before testing

Open(F) 47, close(F) 15, clip style - snap-on

A single pop rivet used to secure sheet-metal parts and small brackets on appliances for a permanent, vibration-resistant hold. Replaces missing or damaged rivets to restore proper attachment without welding. What it does:

• Provides a permanent blind-rivet fastening point for panels, brackets and trim.
• Replaces rivets that are sheared, loose or missing and prevents rattling or misalignment.
• Ideal where a solid, tamper-resistant join is required and screws aren't suitable.
• Works with a compatible pop-rivet tool for quick installation.

• Drill out the old rivet carefully; use the proper size hole for the replacement rivet.
• Use a dedicated pop-rivet tool and wear eye protection during installation.

This replacement ejector is the plastic arm that pushes harvested ice cubes out of the ice mold and into the storage bin, helping restore proper ice ejection and reduce ice that sticks inside the tray. What it does:

• Pushes ice cubes out of the ice mold during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Works with the ice maker's motor/gear assembly to advance cubes into the bin.
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken ejector arms that can leave ice stuck in the mold.
• Can help address symptoms such as cubes that don't eject, partial fills, or frequent ice jams.

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to prevent electrical shock.
• Remove the ice bin and follow the OEM ice maker removal steps to access the ejector.
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking; inspect gears, mounts, and the ice tray for related wear.
