Whirlpool Thin Twin Parts

This factory screw secures appliance panels and components, keeping them properly aligned and quiet during operation. Replace a stripped, corroded, or missing fastener to restore a snug fit and dependable performance in the original mounting location. What it does:

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or internal hardware to the cabinet/frame as specified by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain proper alignment and reduce rattling or vibration when a screw is worn or missing
• Direct replacement for damaged, stripped, or rusted hardware
• Used in various locations per the service diagram; match to the original position

• 1 screw

• Disconnect power (and shut off water or gas, if applicable) before servicing.
• Compare length and thread style to the original; install in the same location.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten until snug—do not overtighten.
• Reinstall any brackets or panels in the correct order.

This start relay controls power to the compressor's start winding so the refrigerator can start and run. Replacing a weak or burned relay restores dependable compressor start-up and can stop repeated clicking with warming temperatures.

• Energizes the compressor's start winding to provide initial torque, then disengages from the circuit
• Common failure symptoms: refrigerator not cooling or intermittently warm; compressor hums/clicks and won't start; relay rattles, smells burnt, or shows heat damage; overload trips
• Helps prevent hard-start conditions that stress the compressor
• The relay contacts are open/shorted, the compressor may fail to start and cycle off on overload

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate PPE
• Access the rear machine compartment; remove the relay cover on the compressor. Note wire positions, pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins, transfer wires, and fully seat the new relay in the same orientation
• If equipped, safely discharge the run capacitor; inspect the overload, wiring, and terminals for heat damage and address as needed
• Reinstall the cover. If the compressor still won't start, further diagnosis of the start device, capacitor, or compressor is required

This evaporator fan motor drives the internal fan that circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and throughout the refrigerator. Replacing a weak or noisy motor restores proper airflow for more consistent temperatures and reliable cooling. What it does

• Moves air across the evaporator coils to remove heat from the cabinet
• Distributes chilled air to both compartments for even cooling
• Helps reduce warm spots and temperature swings
• Common symptoms: fan not running, weak airflow from vents, louder-than-normal or intermittent fan noise, warmer-than-usual refrigerator or freezer

• One evaporator fan motor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the motor behind the rear panel inside the freezer; remove shelves/drawers as needed
• Transfer the existing fan blade, grommets, and bracket if required; mount the new motor in the same orientation
• Reconnect the wire harness, ensure the blade spins freely, reassemble panels, restore power, and confirm the fan runs

Single

This replacement screw fastens internal components and panels so parts stay secure and quiet. It's a direct-fit fastener used where the original mounting screw is missing or damaged to restore proper assembly. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets or components to prevent movement and vibration
• Restores proper alignment for covers and access panels
• Stops rattling or loose-fitting parts caused by a missing or stripped screw
• Works as the factory-specified fastener for the original mounting point

• The screw location and type before installing; use the original hole and thread
• Power off and disconnect the appliance before accessing internal components
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading, then snug with the appropriate screwdriver
• Do not overtighten — stop once the part is secure to avoid stripping or cracking

This drive coupling connects the washer motor to the transmission, transferring power to spin and agitate the tub. Replacing a worn coupling restores proper drivetrain engagement and reduces slipping, grinding, or loss of agitation. What it does:

• Transfers rotational force from the motor to the transmission so the washer can agitate and spin.
• Failsafe for worn motor-to-gearcase connection; a broken coupling commonly causes no-agitate or no-spin symptoms.
• Can produce burning smell, loud grinding, or slipping when deteriorated.
• Helps prevent further damage to the motor or transmission by isolating shock loads.

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair.
• Basic disassembly of the washer cabinet and access to the motor/transmission area is required.
• Verify correct alignment of tabs/slots during installation to ensure proper engagement.

This elbow drain tube redirects drain water through a tight 90° turn to the appliance drain path, restoring proper drainage and preventing leaks from cracked or damaged tubing. A direct-fit replacement for worn or broken drain elbows. What it does

• Guides wastewater from the pump or internal drain outlet into the drain hose or drain channel
• Restores a secure, leak-free connection when the original elbow is cracked, split or deformed
• Helps maintain proper flow by providing a smooth, angled transition that reduces kinking
• Commonly replaced when you see leaks, visible damage, or poor drainage

• One elbow drain tube

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Remove access panels as needed to reach the original elbow; replace with the new elbow in the same orientation
• Ensure all clamps or retaining tabs are secured to prevent leaks; test with a short water/run cycle

This membrane breaker is a thin control membrane used in appliance control panels to protect and support the breaker/contact area, restoring reliable button response and electrical isolation. Fits where a flexible membrane provides tactile actuation and insulation. What it does:

• Replaces a worn or damaged control membrane that affects button feel or contact reliability
• Restores proper tactile response for the breaker/control area and helps prevent intermittent operation
• Provides insulation and protection for underlying electrical contacts
• Commonly replaced when buttons feel sticky, unresponsive, or when moisture has compromised the membrane

• High-level replacement — power off and unplug appliance before servicing
• Remove outer panel or console to access the membrane area
• Handle membrane carefully to avoid bending or contaminating contact surfaces

This membrane breaker is the thin control-panel switch membrane that restores reliable button contact and responsive control input for the appliance. It replaces a worn or damaged panel membrane to help bring back consistent button operation. What it does:

• Provides the tactile contact surface for push-button or touch controls on the console
• Restores consistent button response when panel presses are intermittent or unreliable
• Helps eliminate ghost presses or unresponsive keys caused by a cracked or worn membrane
• Works as the interface between user controls and the underlying switches or PCB

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Installation typically requires removing the control console or trim; handle the membrane carefully to avoid creasing or damage
• Reassemble panels and verify button function before completing the job
