Whirlpool Condenser Cleaning 35 Race Parts

This precision thrust race serves as the hardened bearing surface for axial loads in a rotating mechanism. Replacing a worn race reduces friction and noise, helping restore smooth, consistent motion and protect companion thrust bearings and washers from accelerated wear.

• Provides the hardened bearing surface for a thrust bearing assembly
• Supports axial load and helps maintain proper end-play in the mechanism
• Reduces friction to allow smoother rotation under load
• Wear may present as grinding/scraping noises, rough or binding motion, excessive axial play, or visible scoring

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas before servicing
• Access the thrust-bearing area; note the order and orientation of races, bearings, and washers for reassembly
• Clean mating surfaces; replace any worn companion parts and lubricate only if specified by the service documentation
• Seat the new race fully and verify free movement by hand before reassembly and testing

This condenser coil removes heat from the refrigerant so your refrigerator can cool efficiently. Replacing a damaged or clogged condenser restores proper heat dissipation and can reduce excessive run time and poor cooling. What it does

• Releases heat from the sealed refrigeration system so the fridge can maintain set temperatures
• Helps the compressor run less frequently when operating normally
• A cracked, bent, or clogged condenser can cause poor cooling or warm interior temperatures
• Excessive dust or debris on the condenser may lead to higher energy use and longer run cycles

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access may require moving the refrigerator and removing the rear or lower access panel
• Coils and edges can be sharp—wear gloves and eye protection

This motor run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run more smoothly, restoring proper motor performance and reducing hum or startup problems. It's a direct-replacement electrical component used in compatible Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Provides the phase-shifted current the motor needs to start and maintain normal operation
• Helps reduce motor humming, slow starts, or intermittent motor stalls
• Restores proper motor torque and efficiency when the original capacitor has failed
• Works as the electrical timing/storing component for motor cycles

• One motor run capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting replacement to avoid electrical shock
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals; use insulated tools and follow safe procedures
• Match terminal configuration and mounting to the original part

This evaporator coil circulates refrigerant inside the freezer cabinet to absorb heat and support the refrigerator's cooling cycle. Replacing a damaged or corroded evaporator restores efficient cold production and reduces frost buildup. What it does:

• Circulates refrigerant through the freezer compartment to absorb heat and enable cooling.
• Helps maintain proper temperature by transferring heat from the cabinet to the refrigerant.
• Commonly associated with symptoms like poor cooling, excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer, and long or continuous running of the compressor.
• Works with the freezer fan and defrost system to distribute cold air and manage frost accumulation.

• One evaporator coil (single unit as shipped)

• Repair requires appliance power to be disconnected and refrigerant system access.
• May require evacuating/recovering refrigerant, recharging the system, and a vacuum leak test—do not attempt refrigerant work without proper certification and equipment.
• Inspect and replace associated seals, gaskets, or mounting hardware as needed to ensure proper fit and prevent air leaks.
• Verify defrost heater and thermostat function when replacing the evaporator to prevent repeat frost issues.
