The Hinge-Sleeve Hole Plug is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to cover the hinge sleeve holes on the refrigerator door, providing a finished look and protecting the internal components from dust and debris.

Common causes of a bad hinge-sleeve hole plug include physical damage during routine maintenance or accidental impacts. A missing or damaged plug can lead to exposure of internal hinge components, potentially causing further damage over time.

Symptoms of a bad hinge-sleeve hole plug include:

• Visible gaps or holes in the refrigerator door hinge area
• Accumulation of dust or debris in the hinge mechanism
• Loose or unstable refrigerator door hinges

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

This gasket/seal creates a tight barrier between two mating parts in your appliance to prevent leaks and performance loss. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper sealing and helps stop seepage at the joint. What it does

• Forms a reliable seal between components to prevent fluid or air leaks
• Maintains proper operation by keeping the sealed area contained
• Replaces gaskets that are brittle, cracked, flattened, or swollen
• Common signs include residue or moisture around the joint, visible wear on the old gasket, or a loose/poor seal

• 1 gasket/seal

• Disconnect power and any water or gas supply before servicing
• Note the gasket's orientation; compare old and new parts before installation
• Clean and dry mating surfaces; remove old adhesive and debris
• Seat the gasket evenly; do not overtighten fasteners; test for leaks after reassembly

Color: White

This thimble is a small insert used in the freezer compartment. It reinforces a mounting hole, prevents liner wear, and helps keep attached hardware stable and properly aligned for smooth, quiet operation.

• Serves as a protective bushing for a hole in the freezer compartment liner
• Helps stabilize and align the component secured at that location
• Replaces cracked, worn, or missing inserts that can cause loose hardware, wobbling, or rattling
• Restores proper fit while helping prevent further wear to the liner

• Unplug the refrigerator and clear the work area in the freezer before service
• Remove the fastener/component to access the insert, then pull the old thimble straight out
• Press the new thimble fully into the hole; reinstall hardware without overtightening
• Use care—cold plastic and liner edges can be brittle or sharp

Due to manufacturer changes, if D shaft hinge pin is needed use part number WP2325483.

This grommet is a small protective seal used where a hose, tube, wire, or component passes through or mounts to the appliance cabinet. It cushions the connection and helps prevent leaks, vibration, and wear for reliable operation.

• Provides a snug barrier between parts and metal openings to protect hoses, tubes, and wiring
• Helps seal against moisture to reduce seepage
• Dampens vibration and rattling noises
• Replace if cracked, hardened, missing, or no longer stays seated; symptoms may include drips at a pass-through, buzzing/rattling, or a loose fit

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if applicable
• Access the grommet location and note orientation/routing
• Remove the old grommet and clean the opening
• Press the new grommet fully into place; reassemble and test for leaks/noise

Bottle with brush. Color: Biscuit paint. It's point-six fluid ounces.

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, or trim within your appliance. Replacing a worn, stripped, or missing screw restores a tight, rattle-free fit so components stay aligned and operate as intended. What it does:

• Fastens components at the original factory locations specified for this part
• Replaces missing, damaged, or stripped screws to restore holding power
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose parts
• Maintains proper alignment of panels, covers, brackets, and trim

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Match to the original screw and install in the same location and orientation
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Use the correct driver or nut-driver; transfer any washers or spacers from the original hardware if present

Color: white. It measures about 1 inch in diameter.

This washer is a small hardware spacer used in appliance assemblies to distribute load and maintain proper spacing under a fastener or rotating component. Replacing a worn or missing washer helps restore alignment, reduce noise, and keep parts secure.

• Distributes fastener load to protect mating surfaces
• Maintains spacing/alignment between components
• Can act as a thrust surface to reduce friction and wear
• Typical symptoms: looseness or wobble, scraping/squeaking noises, or parts that won't stay tight

• Disconnect power; shut off gas and/or water as applicable
• Note the order/orientation of washers, spacers, and clips during disassembly; take a photo for reference
• Inspect related parts (retainers, bushings) and replace if worn
• Tighten fasteners per manufacturer guidance; avoid overtightening and verify smooth operation after reassembly

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

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

This replacement handle restores a secure, comfortable grip on the fresh food (refrigerator) door. It refreshes the look of your appliance with a matching black finish and lets you open and close the door confidently. What it does:

• Attaches to the refrigerator (fresh food) door to provide a sturdy handhold
• Replaces a handle that is loose, cracked, scuffed, or broken
• Helps maintain a matched appearance with the companion door handle
• Typical symptoms: wobbling, detached/missing handle, damaged ends, cosmetic wear

• 1 black refrigerator door handle

• Compare the new handle to the old and note top/bottom orientation before installing
• Protect the door finish; remove the old handle and align the new handle with existing mounting points
• Start all fasteners by hand, then snug evenly—do not overtighten
• Reuse the appliance's existing mounting hardware/trim as applicable and verify the handle height matches the companion door before final tightening

Size: 8 x 1-1/4 inch.

This bottom hinge shim installs at the refrigerator's lower door hinge to fine-tune door height and alignment. Replacing a worn or missing shim can help restore smooth closing and an even, reliable gasket seal.

• Spaces the door at the lower hinge to set proper height and alignment
• Helps reduce door sagging or rubbing against the cabinet or other door
• Can help the door gasket seal evenly to minimize warm-air leaks

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off the water supply
• Remove items from the door and support the door to prevent strain
• Loosen/remove lower hinge hardware and place the shim in the original location/orientation
• Reassemble, check alignment, and verify even gasket contact around the door

Color: White. Size: 2 oz. can. Porcelain touch-up paint.
