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 is a complete black outer microwave door assembly that restores proper closure, appearance, and safe operation. It replaces a damaged, cracked, or non-sealing door to help the microwave run correctly and look like new. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, dented, or cosmetically damaged outer door to restore appearance
• Restores proper door closure and alignment to help the unit start and operate reliably
• Helps re-establish the door's sealing surface to reduce cooking interruptions related to poor contact
• Replaces a warped or broken door that can interfere with the latch or safety interlocks

• Disconnect power before starting; handle glass and trim carefully to avoid damage or injury
• Removal typically requires accessing hinge screws and associated trim—keep fasteners organized
• Check latch and interlock components when replacing the door; replace any damaged hardware separately

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 piston assembly restores the moving piston used in the appliance's fluid/valve system to help recover proper dispensing and motion. It replaces a worn or damaged piston so the affected function can operate as intended. What it does:

• Replaces the piston that moves inside a valve or dispenser to control fluid or airflow
• Restores proper actuation and sealing that can prevent drips or improper dispensing
• Commonly installed when symptoms include poor dispensing, leaks near the valve area, sticking motion, or unusual noises during operation
• Works as a direct-fit replacement where this OEM piston assembly is specified

• One piston assembly as shown

• Disconnect power (and water supply or gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Follow the appliance service manual and use appropriate tools; keep small fasteners and seals organized
• Inspect sealing surfaces and O-rings; replace damaged seals to ensure a leak-free install
• Test the appliance after installation to confirm correct operation

This high-voltage magnetron capacitor stores and delivers the pulse of energy the microwave magnetron needs to generate heat. Replacing a failed unit restores proper high-voltage function so the oven can heat reliably. What it does:

• Stores and releases high-voltage energy to the magnetron during cooking cycles.
• Works with the oven's diode and transformer to produce microwave energy.
• A failed capacitor can cause no heat, weak heating, or a blown fuse/circuit interruption.
• Designed for the microwave high-voltage assembly; handle as a high-voltage component.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before service.
• Discharge the capacitor with an insulated tool before touching terminals.
• Verify this part number matches your appliance before ordering.

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 screw is a general-purpose fastener used to secure exterior panels, trim, or internal components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores proper fit and reduces rattles or loose parts for a safer, more reliable appliance. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim pieces, or mounting brackets to keep components in place
• Prevents vibration-related noise and movement caused by missing or loose fasteners
• Helps maintain alignment of control panels and exterior housings
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or lost screws to restore original fit

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Match screw length and thread engagement with the original for a secure fit
• Tighten to snug only; over-tightening can strip threads or crack panels
• Disconnect power before performing repairs on electrical components

This wire harness assembly routes power and control signals between the appliance's main control and its components to restore reliable electrical connections. It replaces a damaged or intermittent wiring assembly to help components receive proper power and signals. What it does

• Connects the main control to heating elements, sensors, switches, or other components depending on appliance model
