This condenser fan blade restores the airflow that carries heat away from the condenser coils and compressor. Replacing a cracked, warped, or loose blade helps your refrigerator remove heat properly so it cools reliably and runs more quietly. What it does

• Draws room air through the condenser coil and over the compressor to dissipate heat
• Helps maintain stable cabinet temperatures and overall cooling performance
• Typical failure symptoms: fan not spinning or moving enough air, wobbling or rattling from the rear base, weak cooling, compressor running hot

• 1 condenser fan blade

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the rear lower access panel before servicing
• Note the blade's orientation; pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft and press the new blade on until fully seated
• Ensure proper clearance in the shroud and spin by hand to confirm it turns freely
• Wear gloves and eye protection; keep hands clear of the blade during testing

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.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part prevents the build-up of frost and ice on the evaporator coils. By periodically heating up to melt away frost, this component ensures that air can flow freely through the coils, maintaining the refrigerator's efficient cooling performance.

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include electrical issues, such as a blown fuse or faulty wiring, wear and tear over time, or a malfunction within the heating element itself.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator or freezer compartment warming up
• The refrigerator cycling on more frequently or for longer durations
• Poor cooling performance throughout the refrigerator

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

The Compressor Start Device is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for starting the compressor, which is crucial for the refrigeration cycle. The start device provides the necessary electrical current to initiate the compressor's operation, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the proper cooling temperature.

You should replace the compressor start device if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad start device can include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or damage from power surges. A malfunctioning start device can prevent the compressor from starting, leading to cooling issues in the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad compressor start device include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or at all
• The compressor not running or making a clicking sound as it tries to start
• Unusual noises coming from the compressor area
• The refrigerator cycling on and off frequently

• Poor airflow around the condenser coils

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

This wire harness connects the appliance's control assembly to key components so signals and power reach the control board reliably. It replaces a damaged or faulty harness to restore proper electrical connections and control function. What it does:

• Transfers power and control signals between the main control and connected components
• Helps resolve intermittent control operation, non-responsive buttons, or failed cycles when caused by wiring problems
• Prevents shorts or open circuits that can result from frayed or broken wires
• Matches OEM connector layout to ensure correct fit and reliable electrical contact

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing internal wiring
• Inspect mating connectors and control board terminals for damage before installation

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

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, designed to provide the necessary electrical charge to start and run the compressor motor. This part attaches to the compressor to aids in maintaining a consistent motor speed and ensuring smooth operation. The run capacitor plays a crucial role in the appliance's electrical system, storing and releasing energy as needed to power the motor.

Causes of a bad Run Capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating, which can lead to a failure in providing the necessary start-up energy or maintaining motor speed.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The appliance does not start.
• The motor shuts off shortly after starting.
• The appliance is humming but not running.
• Increased energy consumption.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This axle roller is the replacement support shaft that lets the appliance's rotating assembly turn smoothly and quietly. Installing a new axle roller corrects wobble and reduces grinding or squealing caused by a worn shaft. What it does:

• Supports the rotating drum or rack so it spins freely and stays aligned
• Helps prevent metal-to-metal contact that causes loud noise or scraping
• Stops uneven rotation and vibration that can lead to further wear
• Restores smooth operation when an original axle is bent, worn, or broken

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Access location and removal steps vary by model; follow the OEM service manual or diagram
• Inspect related parts (pulleys, idler, glides, bearings) and replace if they show wear
• Use basic hand tools; keep fingers and loose clothing clear of moving parts during testing

This rear roller is a replacement for the rollers in a refrigerator. The rollers are not used often, but they have an important purpose. They make it easier to move the refrigerator from one area to another. If the roller had been damaged and is not working properly, it will be difficult to maneuver the refrigerator. Replacing the damaged roller with a new one before moving the refrigerator a long distance is a good idea.The rollers on the refrigerator are meant to handle a lot of pressure. However, they can still wear down and break eventually. They could also be damaged during a previous move. Before replacing the rear roller, unplug the refrigerator and remove the connection to the water supply. The replacement will require only a few tools, such as a screwdriver. It may require moving other parts of the refrigerator to get access to the rear rollers.The rear roller will work for certain models of refrigerators from Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Inglis, Maytag, Admiral, International, Amana, Jenn-Air, Crosley, and Magic Chef. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sold individually.
