This terminal block cover protects the appliance's electrical connection area from accidental contact and debris, helping reduce the risk of shorts and corrosion while keeping wiring secure and contained. What it does:

• Covers and shields the power terminal/block where the power cord connects
• Helps prevent accidental contact with live terminals and reduces short risk
• Keeps out dust, lint and debris that can cause corrosion or arcing
• Useful when the original cover is cracked, missing or showing burn marks

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing electrical components
• Typically installs over the terminal block and secures with the existing fastener(s); inspect mounting hardware for wear
• Replace if cracked, melted or if terminals are exposed; ensure cover seats fully before restoring power

This compressor overload is the thermal protector for your refrigerator's compressor. It opens the circuit when the motor overheats or draws excessive current, helping prevent damage and restoring reliable starts when the original protector fails.

• Interrupts power to protect the compressor during overheat or overcurrent conditions
• If failed, symptoms include: compressor won't start, repeated clicking or brief hum then stop, warm refrigerator/freezer, and an unusually hot compressor shell
• A weak protector may trip repeatedly and reset after cooling, causing intermittent cooling
• Works in tandem with the start relay/device to manage compressor startup current

• Disconnect power before servicing and pull the unit forward for rear access
• Remove the rear cover; note wire positions and take a photo for reference
• Pull the old overload straight off the compressor terminal; transfer leads and firmly seat the new overload in the same orientation
• Capacitors can retain a charge—handle with care; reinstall cover and restore power to test

The Relay and Overload Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an essential component of the refrigerator's electrical control system, responsible for powering components and protecting circuits from overload. 

Causes of a bad relay and overload kit include circuit malfunctions, failed or worn-out components, or improper installation. 

Symptoms of a bad relay and overload kit are:

• Refrigerator not cooling or icing 
• Components like lights or fans not working
• Buzzing or humming noises from the electrical control area
• Repeated blown fuses 

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

A replacement machine screw with 8-32 threads used to secure panels and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. Installs quickly to restore proper fit and stop rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, brackets or components that use 8-32 machine-thread fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and prevents vibration-related noise
• Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged screws that allow parts to come loose
• Works where a standard 8-32 machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power and/or gas before servicing the appliance to reduce shock or injury risk
• Use the proper screwdriver or nut driver for the screw head to avoid stripping
• Thread gently and stop when snug; do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• If threads are damaged, replace with the correct-size screw rather than forcing it

This wire assembly connects the capacitor to the appliance's motor or control, restoring a secure electrical path for reliable start/run operation. Replaces a damaged or worn harness to help resolve starting and intermittent power issues. What it does:

• Provides insulated wiring and terminals to link the capacitor to the motor or control
• Ensures a secure electrical connection for proper start/run signaling
• Can resolve symptoms such as failure to start, humming or intermittent motor starting
• Prevents shorts or arcing from frayed or damaged wiring when functioning correctly

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Capacitors can hold a dangerous charge — have the capacitor safely discharged before disconnecting wires
• Match connectors and routing to the original harness; secure wires away from moving parts and heat sources

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. The thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coil and signals the defrost heater to turn on or off to prevent frost buildup, ensuring efficient cooling.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include wear and tear over time, exposure to extreme temperatures, or electrical malfunctions.  

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• The defrost heater not activating
• The refrigerator running continuously or not running at all

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