This solenoid valve coil energizes the refrigerant service valve to help control refrigerant flow in compatible refrigeration systems. Replaces a worn or failed coil to restore valve actuation and reliable cooling system operation. What it does

• Energizes the refrigerant service valve so the valve can open or close when the system calls for it
• Common replacement when the valve won't actuate or the compressor cycle is abnormal
• Helps stop intermittent cooling caused by a stuck or non-responsive valve coil
• Fits into the valve assembly and provides the magnetic force needed for proper valve movement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to prevent shock or unintended compressor operation
• Inspect the valve and connector for corrosion or damage; replace the valve if body damage is found

This fan gasket seals the fan housing to help direct airflow and maintain proper cooling performance. It replaces a worn or damaged seal to reduce air bypass and improve temperature consistency in the appliance. What it does:

• Seals the fan housing to keep airflow directed through the evaporator/condenser as designed
• Helps prevent air leaks that can cause uneven cooling or longer run cycles
• Reduces the chance of frost buildup or moisture intrusion around the fan area
• Can minimize wind noise from air escaping gaps at the fan assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove access panels and the fan housing to reach and replace the gasket
• Ensure the gasket seats evenly around the fan housing; trim none unless specified by the OEM
• Inspect surrounding components (fan blade, housing) for damage and replace if needed

Sealer for refrigerant line insulation.

The Compressor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located inside the refrigerator cabinet, the compressor circulates refrigerant throughout the cooling system, regulating temperatures inside food compartments. Its efficient operation is crucial to food freshness and refrigerator function.

Symptoms of a bad compressor include: 

• Elevated interior temperatures unable to be maintained  
• Louder than normal buzzing or humming sounds coming from inside
• Frost or ice building up in areas where it typically would not  
• Refrigerator lights repeatedly cycling on and off

Causes of compressor failure involve normal wear of internal parts over time, loss of refrigerant allowing components to overwork, or disruption in the flow and pressure of circulating coolant. 

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

This genuine wire harness routes power and signals between electrical components to restore reliable operation and safe connectivity. It replaces damaged or worn wiring that can cause intermittent function or loss of power. What it does:

• Connects control, motor and sensor circuits so the appliance components communicate and receive power
• Replaces frayed, chafed or burnt wires that can cause intermittent operation or failure to start
• Restores secure connector fit to prevent arcing and erratic behavior
• Helps eliminate wiring-related faults that trigger error codes or safety cutouts

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting work
• Note or photograph original routing and connector positions for correct reassembly
• Inspect nearby wiring, connectors and fasteners; secure harness away from heat and sharp edges

The Wire Harness is an OEM component for Whirlpool refrigerators. As the framework that powers all electronic systems, it plays a vital connecting role. 

The harness incorporates precisely engineered cabling to route electrical signals and low-voltage DC power throughout the appliance in a protected bundle. Strategically placed terminals link to each component board and relay. 

Causes for wire harness issues include pinched insulation from improper installation, short circuits due to nicks/cuts in the sheathing over time, or broken connectors that disrupt circuit pathways.

Symptoms of a bad wire harness can include:

• Lights, fans, or temperature control malfunctions 
• Failure to power on or intermittent cut-outs
• Tripped circuit breakers/blown fuses for the fridge  
• Wire cracking, looseness at bundle ties

Compatible with models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and select Kenmore as well for continued reliability.

This evaporator cover is the molded shroud that protects the freezer evaporator and helps direct airflow for consistent cooling. It replaces a damaged or missing cover to reduce frost buildup and improve temperature performance. What it does:

• Shields the evaporator coil from physical damage and debris
• Directs airflow over the evaporator for more even cooling
• Helps reduce frost buildup and ice forming on the coil
• Can reduce vibration/noise caused by loose or broken shrouds
• Addresses symptoms like excessive frost, uneven temperatures, or unusual freezer noise

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove food, shelving, and interior panels as needed to access the evaporator compartment
• Handle carefully to avoid bending the evaporator coil or damaging mounting tabs
• Defrost and dry the area before installing the new cover

This self-drilling screw secures appliance panels and components where a fastener must cut its own pilot hole. It provides a quick, reliable hold for repair or reassembly of trim, brackets, and internal fixtures. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small components without pre-drilling
• Helps stop loose or rattling trim and parts caused by missing or worn screws
• Restores proper alignment and secure mounting after repairs
