This rear thermostat seal is a small rubber gasket that protects the thermostat opening and helps keep appliance compartments sealed for proper temperature control. Replacing a damaged seal helps maintain safe, consistent operation. What it does:

• Seals the thermostat mounting area to prevent air leaks that can affect temperature regulation
• Helps protect the thermostat from dust, lint, and moisture
• Can reduce intermittent heating or cooling caused by air loss around the thermostat
• Fits at the rear thermostat location to ensure the sensor reads accurate cabinet temperatures

• One rear thermostat seal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing the seal to avoid shock or injury
• Replacement typically requires access to the thermostat at the rear panel—follow appliance-specific disassembly steps
• Inspect the thermostat and surrounding area for damage or contamination while replacing the seal
• Use proper hand tools and avoid over-stretching the gasket during installation

This replacement thermostat knob lets you set and adjust oven or range temperatures with a secure grip and clear pointer for accurate selection. It restores control when the original knob is cracked, stripped, or missing. What it does:

• Fits onto the thermostat shaft to select and hold the desired temperature setting
• Provides a clear pointer for accurate temperature selection
• Replaces cracked, worn, loose, or missing knobs that prevent temperature changes
• Helps restore safe, predictable appliance operation when the original control is damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazard
• Remove the old knob by pulling straight off the control shaft; align and press the new knob onto the shaft until fully seated
• If the knob feels loose or doesn't engage, inspect the control shaft and replace any damaged retainers or adapters as needed
• Use care to avoid forcing the knob

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption

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