This refrigerator compressor circulates refrigerant to cool the appliance and restore proper temperatures. Replaces a failed compressor to help the refrigerator maintain set temperatures when the cooling system is compromised. What it does:

• Pumps refrigerant through the sealed cooling system to enable heat exchange and cooling.
• Runs the refrigeration cycle so the refrigerator and freezer can reach and hold target temperatures.
• Common symptom linkage: fridge not cooling, compressor humming or not running, or frequent cycling.
• Can cause system pressure issues if damaged or leaking.

• One compressor (single sealed unit)

• Power should be disconnected before beginning work and the refrigerant must be recovered per regulations.
• System evacuation, leak testing, and proper recharge with the correct refrigerant are necessary after replacement.
• May require replacement of mounting hardware, start device, or filter-drier—verify system condition during service.

Reversing valve solenoid coil. For reversing valve use 2208467.

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:

• 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

Sealer for refrigerant line insulation.

The Adhesive is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, designed for securing and sealing various components within the appliances. This adhesive is ideal for use in situations where a durable and heat-resistant bond is necessary.Size: 2 oz. tube. This silicone rubber adhesive can be used on door gaskets, felt seals, and much more.

Over time, seals and insulation can become loose or detached due to wear, heat, or mechanical action, potentially compromising the appliance's functionality, efficiency, or safety.

The need for this adhesive may become apparent through symptoms such as:

• Loose seals or gaskets that result in heat loss, inefficiency, or the escape of moisture.
• Detached insulation leading to increased noise, heat transfer, or loss of energy efficiency.
• Components that have become unattached, affecting the appliance's performance or structural integrity.

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