Parts for Whirlpool EV250NXTQ01: 03 - Unit Parts

This fan blade mounts to the fan motor and circulates air through the appliance to maintain proper cooling and airflow. Replace a cracked, warped, or loose blade to quiet noise and restore consistent air movement. What it does:

• Presses onto the motor shaft to move air through the unit
• Helps maintain proper airflow across coils and through compartments
• Replaces a damaged or stripped-hub blade to prevent wobble and noise
• Common symptoms: weak or no airflow, rattling/scraping sounds, warm or inconsistent temperatures

• 1 fan blade

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the fan assembly and note blade orientation/airflow direction
• Remove any retainer and pull the old blade straight off; press the new blade on fully without bending the vanes
• Spin by hand to verify clearance and free movement before restoring power

Defrost heater that melts frost and ice from the evaporator during the defrost cycle, helping restore proper airflow and efficient cooling. Use when frost buildup or defrost-cycle failures are causing reduced cooling performance. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator fins during the defrost cycle to remove accumulated ice and frost.
• Restores normal airflow so the refrigerator can cool evenly and avoid long run times.
• Commonly replaced when you see heavy frost buildup, poor cooling, or repeated defrost errors.
• Works as part of the defrost system alongside the defrost thermostat/timer or control board.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before testing or installing to avoid shock.
• Handle the evaporator fins carefully to avoid damage; follow OEM instructions for routing and securing the heater.

This right-side evaporator cover gasket seals the evaporator cover to help prevent air leaks and reduce frost buildup, supporting consistent cooling and efficient refrigerator operation. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator cover to minimize warm air intrusion and reduce ice accumulation on the evaporator
• Helps maintain stable compartment temperatures for better cooling performance
• Reduces moisture and dripping that can cause water pooling inside the cabinet
• Can address symptoms such as increased frost on the evaporator, higher-than-normal temperatures, or water inside the fresh food/freezer area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove necessary interior panels or shelves to access the evaporator cover per the service manual
• Seat the gasket fully around the cover flange; inspect the cover and seating surface for damage or debris

This defrost thermostat is a bi-metal switch that senses evaporator temperature during defrost and opens to stop heater power once the coil warms. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrost, reducing ice buildup and airflow-related cooling problems.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature during defrost
• Opens the heater circuit at a set temperature; recloses when cold for the next defrost
• Helps protect against overheating and ensures consistent defrost operation
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator, weak airflow/warm fresh food section, repeated ice buildup after manual defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the thermostat at the evaporator behind the freezer's rear panel
• Move wires one-for-one from the old part; mount in firm contact with the coil/tubing and secure leads away from the fan
• After installation, the thermostat should show continuity when cold and open circuit when warm

Pan-head screw used to secure panels, brackets and trim on Whirlpool appliances. Replacing a damaged or missing screw restores proper fastening to reduce vibration and keep assemblies aligned during operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets and trim pieces to the appliance chassis.
• Stops loose panels from rattling, vibrating or shifting during use.
• Used when the original screw is stripped, corroded or missing.
• OEM replacement that restores the original fastening point.

• Unplug the appliance or shut off power before working on it.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Tighten until snug—do not overtighten or force in plastic parts.
• If the original hole or threads are damaged, inspect the surrounding area before reuse.

This wire harness routes electrical signals between the appliance control and internal components, restoring reliable communication and power paths. It replaces damaged or burned wiring to help resolve intermittent or failed control functions. What it does:

• Reconnects control board circuits to motors, switches, sensors, or terminal blocks
• Restores proper signal and power flow when wiring is damaged or shorted
• Helps stop intermittent operation, unexplained shutdowns, or control non-responsiveness
• Provides OEM-style replacement wiring and connector fit for direct swap

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit breaker) before installing
• Handle connectors by the housing; avoid pulling on individual wires
• Confirm connector orientation and secure all clips and fasteners for strain relief

This 10-32 x 3/8 machine screw secures panels and components in many appliances where a small, threaded fastener is required. It replaces stripped, missing, or loose screws to restore stable assembly and reduce vibration. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small components using 10-32 unified threads
• Restores secure mounting when screws are missing, stripped, or loose
• Helps stop rattling, misalignment, and intermittent part contact caused by loose fasteners
• Works wherever a 10-32 x 3/8 machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Use the correct size screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Replace with the same size and thread spec to ensure proper fit and function

This replacement screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components. Using the correct size restores a snug fit to reduce vibration, prevent loosening, and keep assemblies properly aligned during operation. What it does:

• Fastens sheet metal and component brackets in designated locations
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded hardware
• Helps eliminate rattling and vibration from loose panels
• Maintains proper alignment of covers and assemblies

• 1 screw

• Disconnect electrical power; shut off water or gas supplies if applicable
• Match length/thread to the original; replace one fastener at a time to preserve alignment
• Start by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver size
• Snug firmly but do not overtighten to prevent stripping
