This is the refrigerator's sealed-system compressor. It pressurizes and moves refrigerant through the system to remove heat from the cabinet, restoring consistent cooling performance when the original compressor has failed or lost capacity. What it does and common symptoms:

• Pumps and circulates refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat
• Maintains target temperatures in both fresh food and freezer sections
• Symptoms of failure can include: no cool/poor cooling, unit warms up after short operation, humming then clicking from the compressor area, or repeated thermal overload trips
• Runs but not cool effectively when the compressor is weak or internally damaged (after ruling out start components and charge issues)

• 1 compressor

• Disconnect power before servicing; sealed-system work involves high pressure and high temperatures
• Sealed-system repairs require EPA Section 608 certification and specialized tools (gauges, vacuum pump, brazing equipment)
• Replace the filter-drier, braze connections properly, evacuate to deep vacuum, and charge to the model's specification
• Related components (start device/overload, run capacitor, controls) are tested before condemning the compressor

The Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It creates an air-tight seal around the refrigerator and freezer doors, keeping cool air in and external heat and moisture out. The resilient gasket material can maintain flexibility through hundreds of open and close cycles.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket can include cracking or splitting of the rubber seal, gashes or punctures that breach the barrier, or warping so that a flush seal can no longer form. 

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• Cooler air leaking from door openings  
• Defrost issues or frost build-up
• Inability to maintain set temperatures
• Moisture collection inside door interiors

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