Parts for Whirlpool GB22DKXJB01: 06 - Unit Parts

This replacement screw secures specified refrigerator components—such as covers, brackets, and internal panels—so they stay properly mounted. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded fastener to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and reliable operation.

• Provides the correct fastener for locations identified in your model's parts diagram
• Helps prevent looseness, vibration, and rattling of panels or brackets
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are worn, or the screw is missing
• Symptoms can include loose parts, gaps, or noises from movement

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water if working near the ice maker or dispenser
• Match length and type to the original; follow your model's parts diagram for placement
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing, especially into plastic
• Keep track of screw positions; do not mix different screw lengths or styles

Size: 8-32 x .312 inch.

This evaporator defrost heater melts frost from the freezer coils during the automatic defrost cycle to keep airflow unobstructed and temperatures stable. Replace it if frost quickly returns after manual defrost or cooling performance declines. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator at set intervals to clear frost/ice
• Restores proper airflow to maintain consistent cooling
• Common signs of failure include heavy frost on the rear freezer panel, weak airflow or warmer fresh food temps, longer run times, or the evaporator fan striking ice
• An open reading on a continuity test indicates a failed heater

• 1 evaporator defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; it mounts at/under the evaporator
• Note wire routing and clip locations; transfer any reusable hardware from the original part
• Avoid bending the element or damaging evaporator fins; fully defrost ice before reassembly

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils and triggers the defrost cycle when the coils get too cold, preventing frost buildup and ensuring efficient cooling.  It operates by closing the heater circuit to initiate the defrost cycle. It opens the circuit when the temperature rises above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. It then resumes operation when the temperature drops to 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include regular wear and tear, exposure to moisture, or electrical issues. Over time, the thermostat may lose accuracy or stop working altogether, leading to frost accumulation or inefficient cooling.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator running continuously or not cooling properly
• The defrost heater not activating
• The refrigerator cycling on and off frequently

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

This PTC start relay mounts on the compressor and briefly powers its start winding to get it running, then drops out. Replacing a weak relay can restore reliable starts and resolve clicking/humming with no cooling.

• Provides the initial boost to the compressor via a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) element, then opens as it heats
• Takes the start winding out of the circuit once the compressor is running
• Typical failure symptoms: compressor won't start, repeated clicking/humming, no cooling, visible heat damage at the relay or connector
• Direct replacement for the original PTC start device used on applicable models

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Access the compressor compartment, remove the cover, and note the relay's orientation; pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins
• Inspect wiring terminals for heat damage; do not reuse burnt connectors
• Firmly seat the new relay on the compressor terminals, reinstall the cover, restore power, and verify compressor start

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

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

This sealed-system compressor circulates refrigerant to cool your refrigerator, restoring normal cooling performance when the compressor fails. Designed to replace a failing compressor and help bring temperatures back to safe food-storage levels. What it does:

• Compresses and circulates refrigerant through the sealed refrigeration circuit
• Restores cooling when the compressor motor runs properly
• Commonly linked to symptoms like weak or no cooling, loud humming or clattering sounds, or a refrigerator that cycles continuously
• May be the cause if the appliance frequently trips a circuit breaker or shows hard-starting behavior

• Sealed-system work requires certified HVAC/refrigeration service and proper refrigerant handling per local regulations
• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; follow lockout/tagout practices
• Compressor replacement often requires system evacuation, brazing, and recharge — do not attempt unless qualified
• Use the identical replacement part number and follow OEM service instructions to avoid damage

The Refrigerator Defrost Timer is an OEM Replacement Part designed to manage the automatic defrost system in Whirlpool freezers. Housed at the top inside of the appliance, this component shuts off the cooling system and activates the defrost heater. The timer operates at 120V 60Hz and activates for 33 minutes every 8 hours. The dial on the timer can be turned clockwise to advance it into and out of defrost.

Causes of a faulty Defrost Timer Kit can include electrical issues, mechanical wear and tear over time, or problems with the timer's internal components.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer Kit include:

• Freezer not defrosting properly, leading to excessive ice buildup
• Refrigerator running constantly or not cooling effectively
• Condensation or moisture issues inside the refrigerator
• Error codes related to the defrost system

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