The Whirlpool EveryDrop Ice and Refrigerator Water Filter 1 is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This filter works to remove small particles from water to ensure clean, great-tasting ice and drinking water directly from the refrigerator door.  Measuring approximately 2.50 x 2.50 x 8.69 inches, this filter is easy to install. 

For optimal performance, we recommend replacing the filter every six months. The filter material is made from coconut carbon block, which has a micron rating of 0.5 and a flow rate of 0.5 gpm. The filter is designed to operate at a maximum pressure of 125 psi and an operating temperature of 38-100°.

Symptoms of a filter needing replacement include:

• Gradual decline in water/ice quality over time exhibiting muddy appearance or odd tastes
• Filter life indicator appears showing it is time for a new one 

Causes stem from normal usage over the stated capacity of the original filter. Allowing one to expire could produce unhealthy water.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with select Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana models as well.

This water connector is an inlet fitting that connects the household water line to the appliance, providing a secure path for water to reach the valve, dispenser or ice system. It helps maintain proper water flow and prevents leaks when installed correctly. What it does:

• Connects the incoming water supply to the appliance's inlet valve or ice/dispenser plumbing
• Provides a sealed transition between supply tubing and appliance fittings
• Restores normal water flow for ice makers and dispensers when damaged or corroded
• Can prevent dripping or pooling from a failing or broken connector

• Turn off the appliance power and shut off the house water supply before replacing
• Inspect and replace any worn tubing, O-rings, or clamps for a proper seal
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading, then snug with a wrench—do not overtighten
• After installation, restore water and power and check all connections carefully for leaks

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.

This is an evaporator that is located inside many refrigerators. It has a part to play in ensuring the items inside the appliance stay cold. When the refrigerator turns from a liquid into a gas through evaporation, it cools the area nearby and makes it ideal for storing perishable food items. The evaporator pulls air from the refrigerator and blows it over the coils to keep it at the appropriate temperature. There are several signs that the evaporator is damaged or no longer working correctly. Sometimes it will make a chirping or squealing noise. It may cause the refrigerator to be too warm, which may cause issues with the food items inside. Frost buildup on the coils is also a bad sign. If the evaporator is damaged, it needs to be replaced. Unplug the refrigerator and remove the panel over the evaporator. Remove the clamps to uninstall the part. The new part can be installed in the same place. Make sure to test before use.This evaporator is made to be compatible with Maytag, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Kenmore refrigerators. It is directly sourced from the manufacturer and sold on an individual basis. This is an authentic OEM replacement component.

This replacement clip secures the defrost heater to the evaporator so the heater stays in proper contact and defrosts frost buildup efficiently. Durable, OEM-style retention clip designed for refrigerators. What it does

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator assembly to ensure consistent defrost cycles
• Prevents the heater from shifting or coming loose, which can cause frost buildup or interrupted defrosting
• Helps maintain proper contact for efficient heat transfer during defrost
• Small, inexpensive part that can prevent larger ice/frost-related issues

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the evaporator compartment.
• Handle the evaporator fins and heater element carefully to avoid damage.
• Typically installs with basic hand tools; replace any damaged or corroded clips.

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This motor is responsible for powering the fan that cools the condenser coils, which helps dissipate heat from the refrigerator. Proper functioning of the condenser fan motor is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and cooling performance of the refrigerator.

Causes of a bad condenser fan motor can include wear and tear from regular use, dust and debris buildup, or electrical failures. A faulty fan motor can lead to overheating of the condenser coils, which can cause the refrigerator to operate inefficiently or stop cooling altogether.

Symptoms of a bad Condenser Fan Motor include:

• The refrigerator running warmer than usual
• The condenser coils being hot to the touch
• The fan not spinning or making unusual noises
• Increased energy consumption

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

Note: Due to a manufacturing change, if your original fan motor has a 3-terminal connector, order fan motor W10124096 which includes an adapter harness to convert to the new 4-terminal connector.

This is the refrigerator's sealed-system compressor. It pressurizes and moves refrigerant through the system to remove heat from the cabinet, restoring consistent cooling performance when the original compressor has failed or lost capacity. What it does and common symptoms:

• Pumps and circulates refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat
• Maintains target temperatures in both fresh food and freezer sections
• Symptoms of failure can include: no cool/poor cooling, unit warms up after short operation, humming then clicking from the compressor area, or repeated thermal overload trips
• Runs but not cool effectively when the compressor is weak or internally damaged (after ruling out start components and charge issues)

• 1 compressor

• Disconnect power before servicing; sealed-system work involves high pressure and high temperatures
• Sealed-system repairs require EPA Section 608 certification and specialized tools (gauges, vacuum pump, brazing equipment)
• Replace the filter-drier, braze connections properly, evacuate to deep vacuum, and charge to the model's specification
• Related components (start device/overload, run capacitor, controls) are tested before condemning the compressor
