This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

This evaporator assembly circulates refrigerant and removes heat inside the freezer section to enable proper cooling and frost control. Replaces a damaged or corroded evaporator to restore normal temperature performance. What it does:

• Holds refrigerant and transfers heat so the freezer evaporates moisture and cools the compartment.
• Commonly used when frost builds up, freezer runs warm, or cooling is intermittent.
• Works with the sealed refrigeration system and defrost components to maintain proper cold temperatures.
• Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible refrigerators.

• System evacuation, recharge, and leak testing are required after installation.
• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock and appliance damage.
• Inspect related defrost and sealing components during replacement.

This replacement clip secures the defrost heater to the evaporator so the heater stays in proper contact and defrosts frost buildup efficiently. Durable, OEM-style retention clip designed for refrigerators. What it does

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator assembly to ensure consistent defrost cycles
• Prevents the heater from shifting or coming loose, which can cause frost buildup or interrupted defrosting
• Helps maintain proper contact for efficient heat transfer during defrost
• Small, inexpensive part that can prevent larger ice/frost-related issues

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the evaporator compartment.
• Handle the evaporator fins and heater element carefully to avoid damage.
• Typically installs with basic hand tools; replace any damaged or corroded clips.

This condenser fan motor spins the fan that moves air across the condenser coils and around the compressor. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores proper heat removal so the cooling system can maintain stable temperatures and run efficiently.

• Drives the condenser fan to move airflow through the condenser section
• Helps dissipate heat from the refrigeration system and cool the compressor
• Failure may present as the condenser fan not running
• May also cause warm temperatures, longer run times, or loud scraping/whirring noises near the rear or bottom of the unit
• Can contribute to the compressor running hot

• Disconnect power before servicing; use gloves to protect from sharp edges
• Access the condenser area; install the new motor in the same orientation as the original
• Transfer the existing fan blade, bracket, and grommets if required; keep wiring clear of the blade

• Potential freezing or short circuits from excess pooled moisture
• Inability to effectively direct condensate away from coils
• Promotes conditions for mold or odor development

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid and some Kenmore models.

This refrigerator compressor is the heart of the sealed cooling system. It compresses and circulates refrigerant so the fresh food and freezer sections reach and maintain set temperatures, restoring cooling performance when the original unit has failed.

• Compresses and moves refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat from the cabinet
• Restores cooling when a failed or seized compressor is the cause of no-cool/weak-cool conditions
• Symptoms include a warm refrigerator or freezer, extended run time with little cooling
• Clicking or humming from the compressor area with no start, or overheating and cycling on overload

• Sealed-system service requires EPA Section 608 certification, recovery equipment, brazing, deep vacuum, and precise recharging
• Disconnect power and properly recover refrigerant before opening the system; replace the filter-drier, braze with nitrogen purge, leak-test, evacuate, then charge to the specification on the model's data plate
• Transfer any model-specific grommets, brackets, tubing, and external inverter/start components from the original unit or replace as directed in the service manual

This defrost heater melts frost and ice from the refrigerator evaporator so the cooling system runs efficiently and food stays properly chilled. Replaces a failed or burned heater element to restore automatic defrost function. What it does:

• Warms the evaporator coil during defrost cycles to remove frost buildup
• Helps prevent ice-related cooling problems, long run times, or clogged drain issues
• Commonly replaced when the defrost system fails or the freezer develops heavy frost
• Works with the refrigerator's defrost control and thermostat to clear ice automatically

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer evaporator cover or back panel
• Handle the heater carefully to avoid damaging the coil fins or heating element; replace mounting clips or insulation as needed
• Test defrost continuity and the defrost system components if the oven still fails to defrost after installation
