This refrigerator water filter cartridge replaces the installed filter to help restore clear, better-tasting water and improve ice quality. It's a direct-fit replacement designed for compatible Whirlpool refrigeration systems. What it does:

• Filters water to reduce common impurities that can affect taste and clarity
• Helps improve the quality of ice produced by the refrigerator
• Can resolve symptoms like cloudy water, off-taste, or reduced water flow from the dispenser
• Restores proper filtration performance when the original filter is expired or clogged

• Follow the refrigerator manufacturer's instructions for removal and installation.
• Run and discard the recommended amount of water after installation to flush the system before use.
• Turn off the water supply and disconnect power if required by your model before servicing.
• Inspect the new filter for damage; do not use a damaged filter.

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help an AC motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce humming, no-start, or stall conditions.

• Provides the phase shift and starting torque an induction motor needs to start
• Helps the motor reach and maintain proper speed under load
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: motor hums but won't start, intermittent starts, slow or stalled rotation, or frequent thermal trips
• Visible clues may include a swollen case or leaking residue

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Capacitors can retain a charge—discharge safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the new capacitor one at a time and ensure snug terminal fit
• Reuse the original bracket/clip if applicable and secure the capacitor to prevent vibration

This electronic control board is the appliance's main control module that manages cycles, user inputs, and display functions. Replacing a faulty board restores reliable control and consistent operation of the appliance. What it does:

• Interprets user commands from the console and starts selected cycles
• Controls timing, heating/motor outputs and display indicators per program
• Helps prevent erratic behavior like unexpected stops or incorrect cycles
• Common symptoms: blank or unresponsive display, buttons not working, appliance won't start, or shows control-related error codes

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid shock
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid static discharge; use a grounded wrist strap if available
• Note and reconnect all wiring harnesses and connectors to their original locations

This molded wire support clip secures wiring and small harnesses to the appliance cabinet or components to prevent rubbing, pinching, or contact with moving/heat-producing parts. It helps reduce chafing and electrical wear for safer, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds wiring harnesses and individual wires in place to prevent contact with sharp edges, motors, or heating elements
• Minimizes wire movement and vibration that can lead to chafing or broken conductors
• Helps maintain proper routing for consistent connections and component performance
• Commonly used where a small push-fit retainer is needed to secure low-voltage or signal wires

• One wire support clip as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Push-fit installation: align clip over wire/harness and press into the mating hole or slot until it snaps in place; clip may require slight flexing
• Inspect surrounding wiring and routing for damage; replace any frayed or exposed wires before reassembly
• If the mounting hole or panel is damaged, use the correct replacement panel or a suitable repair to ensure a secure fit

This control panel is the front console housing for your appliance's user interface, restoring the buttons and display area so you can select cycles and read settings clearly. Designed as a direct replacement for the panel assembly. What it does:

• Provides the user interface surface for touchpads, buttons, and the display so controls respond and information is visible.
• Transfers user inputs to the appliance's main electronics (when installed and connected correctly).
• Replaces panels that are cracked, scratched, or have worn labels that make controls hard to see or use.
• Restores a finished appearance to the appliance's front when the original panel is damaged.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before attempting service to avoid shock.
• Handle carefully to avoid damaging attached electronics, ribbon cables, or the display; avoid touching circuit board contacts.
• Remove trim and mounting screws as needed; keep hardware organized for reassembly.
• Test operation after reconnecting wiring and before fully reassembling the appliance.

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature so the control board can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature readings and more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses internal refrigerator temperature and sends a variable resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control system cycle the compressor and fans correctly for stable temperatures
• Commonly replaced when refrigerator runs too cold, too warm, or has irregular cooling cycles
• Can address temperature-error codes or defrost control issues when the sensor is faulty

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the sensor
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage to the probe or connectors
• Install in the original sensor mounting location and secure wiring away from moving parts

This base is the appliance's lower cabinet section that supports internal components and helps stabilize the unit. It restores a solid foundation so the appliance sits level and protects internal parts from floor contact and debris. What it does:

• Provides structural support for the appliance's internal assemblies and controls
• Helps stabilize the unit and reduce excessive vibration or rocking
• Protects wiring, motors and other components from contact with the floor
• A damaged or cracked base can cause noisy operation, misalignment, or uneven sitting

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Follow the OEM service manual for disassembly and reassembly steps
• Replacement may require removing the cabinet and/or drum; having a second person helps with lifting and alignment
• Inspect and reuse original fasteners only if undamaged; replace any worn mounting hardware

This replacement door handle restores a secure grip and clean appearance to your refrigerator door. It matches the original mounting points for a direct-fit swap and helps you open and close the door smoothly. What it does:

• Provides a sturdy, ergonomic grip for opening and closing the refrigerator door

• Matches original mounting locations to maintain proper door alignment and function
• Designed for direct replacement without modifying the door

• One replacement refrigerator door handle

• Remove power to the appliance and empty door shelves before starting
• Typical install requires removing the door trim or screws at the handle mounting points
• Handle screws and any trim clips should be reused if undamaged; replace if stripped

This wire harness is the assembled wiring needed to replace a worn, damaged, or failed harness that connects appliance components and restores reliable power and signal paths. It helps return normal operation by replacing frayed or broken wires and connectors. What it does:

• Replaces the factory wiring assembly that links controls, switches, sensors and motors
• Restores electrical connections that can cause no-start, intermittent operation, or failed cycles
• Eliminates problems caused by loose, corroded, or damaged wires and terminals
• Prevents arcing or shorts from exposed or broken conductors when properly installed

• One complete wire harness assembly as shown

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing electrical components
• Verify routing and connector orientation match the original harness before securing
• Avoid stretching or pinching wires; secure with existing clips or fasteners
• If any connector or terminal appears damaged, replace the harness rather than attempt field repairs
