The Water Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to filter and purify the water for your refrigerator, ensuring clean and fresh drinking water and ice.

A bad refrigerator water filter can be caused by regular use and the buildup of contaminants over time. It may also become less effective if not replaced according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule.

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator water filter include:

• A decrease in water flow or water pressure.
• An unpleasant taste or odor in the water.
• The presence of particles or sediment in the water.
• Cloudy or discolored ice cubes.

If you notice any of these signs or if it has been more than six months since your last filter replacement, it's time to replace the refrigerator water filter with this genuine OEM part. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

The Fan Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is essential for circulating air throughout the refrigerator, ensuring that the temperature remains consistent and the cooling process is efficient. The fan blade helps distribute cold air from the evaporator coils to different parts of the refrigerator and freezer compartments, maintaining an even temperature throughout.

Over time, the fan blade can become damaged due to wear and tear, obstruction by debris, or impact from moving items within the refrigerator. If the fan blade is cracked, broken, or loose, it will not be able to circulate air effectively, leading to cooling issues and potential food spoilage.

Symptoms of a bad fan blade include:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator
• Inconsistent cooling or warm spots within the compartments
• The refrigerator running more frequently or for longer periods
• Frost buildup in the freezer

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

• Reassemble and snug fasteners—do not overtighten, so the grommet can isolate vibration

The Defrost Heater is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It removes accumulated frost and ice from evaporator coils to maintain efficient cooling performance. 

Symptoms of a faulty heater include:

• Ineffective or failed automatic defrost cycles  
• Accumulation of excess frost over time
• Loose or improper placement of coils/connectors

Causes can be wear from repetitive defrost cycles. Environmental factors like humidity fluctuations may also degrade insulation.

This OEM heater is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper refrigerator models.

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component helps to kickstart the compressor, facilitating the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge. 

Such issues can stem from electrical failures within the relay, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. When the relay does not function correctly, it can lead to inconsistent cooling and, in severe cases, cause the compressor to overheat and fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a failing Compressor Start Relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• A noticeable clicking sound emanating from the back of the refrigerator, indicating the relay is trying to start the compressor but failing
• The refrigerator starts and stops frequently, unable to maintain a constant temperature

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This seal strip replaces a worn or damaged door gasket edge to restore a proper seal and help the appliance maintain temperature and operate quietly. It's a direct-fit service part used where a continuous seal is required. What it does:

• Provides a flexible barrier along the door/frame to reduce air leaks and heat/cold loss
• Helps prevent moisture buildup and improves energy efficiency when sealing is restored
• Reduces rattling and vibration caused by a compressed or torn seal edge
• Commonly replaced when the strip is torn, missing, or no longer adheres properly

• One seal strip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical or burn hazards
• Clean and dry the mounting surface; remove old adhesive or residue for best adhesion
• Align the strip carefully and press firmly; allow any adhesive to cure per manufacturer instructions

The Bimetal Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a vital role in the defrost system, regulating the freezer temperature to prevent excessive frost buildup. The thermostat serves as a safety device by shutting off power to the defrost heater if the temperature gets too high, thereby protecting the appliance from overheating and potential damage. Its specifications include a 5-1/4" orange wire, a 25" brown wire, and a 1/2" clip.

You should replace the bimetal defrost thermostat if it becomes faulty. Over time, it can deteriorate due to normal wear and tear, electrical problems, or exposure to extreme temperatures, leading to malfunctioning of the defrost cycle.

Symptoms of a bad bimetal defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost accumulation in the freezer
• The refrigerator running continuously or not maintaining the proper temperature
• The defrost heater failing to activate

By maintaining optimal temperatures within the cooling system, it ensures the efficient operation of the refrigerator.

Over time, the motor-condenser fan can fail due to electrical issues, wear and tear, or exposure to dust and debris. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to overheating and reduced cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad motor-condenser fan include:

• The refrigerator running continuously or not cooling properly
• Unusual noises from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor overheating
• Poor airflow around the condenser coils

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

This grommet is a small protective seal used where a hose, tube, wire, or component passes through or mounts to the appliance cabinet. It cushions the connection and helps prevent leaks, vibration, and wear for reliable operation.
