Whirlpool 8560 Icemaker Parts

This rubber grommet cushions and secures appliance components where they pass through panels or mount to frames, reducing vibration and protecting wiring or hoses from abrasion. It helps restore quiet operation and stable mounting. What it does:

• Cushions mounts and reduces vibration or rattling from motors or panels
• Protects wires, hoses, and tubing from chafing where they pass through openings
• Keeps components properly positioned to prevent wear and noise
• Worn or missing grommets can cause rubbing, vibration noise, or movement of parts

• One rubber grommet as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Remove the damaged grommet and install the replacement in the same orientation
• No special tools typically required; small pliers or a flat tool can help seat tight grommets
• Inspect surrounding seals, wiring, and mounting hardware while replacing

No.10 - 16 x 3/8

This O-ring is a small rubber sealing gasket that prevents water leaks at a refrigerator water connection. It restores a watertight seal to stop drips and maintain proper water flow to the dispenser/ice system. What it does:

• Creates a watertight seal at a water line or valve connection
• Helps stop visible dripping or slow leaks from fittings
• Maintains proper pressure and flow by preventing bypass around a joint
• Used where a compressible seal is required between two mating parts

• Shut off water supply and disconnect power before servicing
• Replace only with the correct-size O-ring and seat it evenly in the groove
• Inspect mating surfaces for nicks or debris; clean before installing the new O-ring
• Tighten fittings to manufacturer torque recommendations to avoid over-compression
