Parts for Whirlpool GX5FHTXTS01: 05 - Unit Parts

Replace your refrigerator water filter every 6 months to ensure clean, fresh-tasting water and ice. Easy twist-on installation. Verify fit with your model.

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 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

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor rattles? This sealed system compressor restores cooling. Professional installation required for refrigerant work.

Condensate drain pan collects water under your refrigerator. Replace if cracked, leaking, or damaged to prevent floor water pooling and spillage.

Cushions refrigerator components at mounting points to reduce vibration and rattling. Replace if worn, cracked, or missing to restore quiet operation.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It removes accumulated frost and ice from evaporator coils to maintain efficient cooling performance. 

Symptoms of a faulty heater include:

• Ineffective or failed automatic defrost cycles  
• Accumulation of excess frost over time
• Loose or improper placement of coils/connectors

Causes can be wear from repetitive defrost cycles. Environmental factors like humidity fluctuations may also degrade insulation.

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

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component helps to kickstart the compressor, facilitating the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge. 

Such issues can stem from electrical failures within the relay, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. When the relay does not function correctly, it can lead to inconsistent cooling and, in severe cases, cause the compressor to overheat and fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a failing Compressor Start Relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• A noticeable clicking sound emanating from the back of the refrigerator, indicating the relay is trying to start the compressor but failing
• The refrigerator starts and stops frequently, unable to maintain a constant temperature

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 seal strip replaces a worn or damaged door gasket edge to restore a proper seal and help the appliance maintain temperature and operate quietly. It's a direct-fit service part used where a continuous seal is required. What it does:

• Provides a flexible barrier along the door/frame to reduce air leaks and heat/cold loss
• Helps prevent moisture buildup and improves energy efficiency when sealing is restored
• Reduces rattling and vibration caused by a compressed or torn seal edge
• Commonly replaced when the strip is torn, missing, or no longer adheres properly

• One seal strip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical or burn hazards
• Clean and dry the mounting surface; remove old adhesive or residue for best adhesion
• Align the strip carefully and press firmly; allow any adhesive to cure per manufacturer instructions

Freezer evaporator coil icing up and refrigerator not cooling? This defrost thermostat regulates temperature to prevent frost buildup. 2-3 hour DIY repair.

Refrigerator making rattling or vibrating noises? This condenser grommet cushions the condenser assembly to reduce noise and prevent mounting wear.

Refrigerator not cooling properly? This 36-inch condenser coil removes heat from your fridge. Common fix for warm temps and overheating compressors.

36-inch drip tray for refrigerators. Collects water and condensation beneath the appliance. Replace if cracked, warped, or missing to prevent leaks.

This evaporator clip secures the refrigerator evaporator assembly and related components so the cooling system stays aligned and vibration-free. It helps maintain proper airflow and prevents rubbing or loose parts. What it does:

• Holds the evaporator coil/assembly or associated covers in place
• Prevents vibration, noise, and contact between the coil and cabinet parts
• Helps maintain consistent airflow for reliable cooling performance
• Commonly linked to rattling, buzzing, or loose parts around the freezer evaporator

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Handle evaporator and surrounding fins carefully; they are sharp and fragile
• Verify clip orientation against the OEM diagram before fastening

This genuine replacement part is an evaporator used in refrigerators. The evaporator is the part that exchanges heat to cool the refrigerator. It is the component of the refrigerator that absorbs the heat from the air inside, turning it cool through absorption. If the refrigerator is no longer cooling properly, this could mean it's time for a new evaporator. This is a genuine replacement evaporator compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Sears, and Kenmore brand refrigerators.
