Whirlpool Gi5fvaxvl01 Parts

The Glass Shelf is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. As an internal storage component, the glass shelf provides an adjustable platform to organize grocery items in refrigerator compartments. 

Causes of a bad glass shelf could be repeated cracking or chipping of glass over time due to the impact of falling items or bottle vibrations. Edge damage may occur from sliding shelving in and out of position.

Symptoms of a bad glass shelf include:

• Visible cracks, chips, or fractures in the material
• Compromised stability no longer safely holds weight  
• Warping or bending of shelf affecting functionality

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some KitchenAid models.

This rubber grommet cushions and seals a wiring, hose, or shaft opening to help prevent abrasion, reduce vibration, and maintain a snug fit for quieter, safer appliance operation. What it does:

• Protects wiring, hoses, or moving shafts from chafing and wear
• Helps seal openings to limit water, air, or lint intrusion
• Dampens vibration and reduces noise where panels or components meet
• Worn or damaged grommets can cause rubbing sounds, visible wear, loose hoses, or leaks

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Push-fit replacement in most applications; a small screwdriver or needle-nose pliers can help with removal or alignment
• Inspect surrounding seals, hoses, and mounting surfaces and replace damaged parts as needed

Top hinge assembly secures the top of the refrigerator door to the cabinet and restores proper pivoting for smooth opening and correct alignment, helping maintain the door seal and prevent sagging. What it does:

• Supports and pivots the top of the door for stable, even movement.
• Keeps the door aligned so the gasket seals evenly across the cabinet.
• Helps prevent door sagging, rubbing, or uneven gaps that can affect cooling.
• Resolves symptoms like difficulty closing or a door that sits crooked.

• Disconnect power and empty the door before starting the repair.
• Have a second person or a support to hold the door while removing/installing the hinge.
• Use basic hand tools and follow the manufacturer's service instructions; avoid forcing parts.
• After installation, check door alignment and operation to ensure a proper seal.

The door hinge is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a role in holding the refrigerator door securely in place while allowing it to swing freely for easy access. The hinge is designed to withstand the pressure of opening and closing the door smoothly over many years of use.

Causes of a bad hinge include wear and tear from repeated opening and closing of the door, exposure to excessive force or impact, or overloading of the door with heavy items.

Symptoms of a bad hinge include:

• The door not closing properly or unevenly
• Increased effort required to open or close the door
• Noises or squeaking coming from the hinge area
• The door leaning or not staying securely closed

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

• Replaces a damaged or broken wheel that can cause reduced airflow and long dry times
• Stops abnormal noises from a cracked or out-of-balance impeller
• Helps prevent overheating caused by restricted or insufficient airflow

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Inspect the mounting shaft, housing, and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware
• Ensure correct wheel orientation and secure fit to avoid vibration or rubbing

A small rubber mounting grommet that cushions and protects components where they pass through or sit against a chassis or housing. Replaces worn or damaged grommets to reduce vibration and keep parts properly positioned. What it does:
