Parts for Kitchenaid KUIO18NNXS2: 05 - Unit Parts

This fan mounting bracket secures the evaporator/condenser fan assembly so the fan stays aligned and runs quietly. It's a direct-fit replacement that restores proper airflow and reduces vibration from a loose or damaged bracket. What it does:

• Holds the refrigerator/freezer fan motor or blade in the correct position to maintain consistent airflow
• Prevents fan wobble and contact with surrounding components that cause noise or damage
• Helps restore cooling performance impacted by a detached or broken fan mount
• Works with the existing fan motor and blade when the bracket is the only damaged part

• One fan mounting bracket

• Basic hand tools required; access may require removing interior panels or the evaporator/condenser cover
• Power off and unplug the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Keep screws and mounting hardware from the old bracket; replace only if damaged or missing
• If the fan motor or blade shows damage, inspect and replace those components as needed

This replacement screw fastens trim, panels and small components to restore secure attachment and reduce rattling or movement. Use when a screw is missing, stripped, or damaged to keep parts aligned and operating quietly. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets and trim to appliance assemblies
• Prevents vibration, rattling and misalignment caused by missing or damaged fasteners
• Replaces lost or stripped screws that can allow gaps or loose parts
• Helps maintain safe, stable operation by keeping components properly fastened

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before accessing interior panels
• Use the proper screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Align parts before tightening and tighten until snug—do not overtighten
• Replace only with the correct OEM part to ensure proper fit and function

The Screw is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool appliances. The precise threads allow screws to join or assemble other parts securely. 

Causes of a bad screw can include stripping, cracking, or loss of threads due to repeated installation/removal over time. Corrosion is also possible depending on environmental conditions.

Symptoms of a bad screw include: 

• Loosened or detached components that were once fastened 
• Reduced structural integrity of connections or assemblies
• Potential safety hazards if critical parts become dislodged

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

This solenoid valve coil is the electromagnetic coil that actuates a valve in your appliance. Replacing a weak or open coil helps restore reliable opening and closing for consistent filling or dispensing performance.

• Energizes the valve armature to start or stop flow as directed by the control
• Common symptoms: no fill/dispense, intermittent or slow flow, or a coil that tests open/no continuity
• A targeted fix when the valve body is intact and not stuck or leaking
• Use to replace a burned, cracked, or shorted solenoid coil on the original valve assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off supply lines before service
• Access the valve, note wire positions, and remove any retaining clip or fastener
• Slide the old coil off the stem; install the new coil in the same orientation and reconnect wires securely
• Restore power/supply and test operation; check for leaks

The Overload is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an important component of the refrigerator's compressor system, providing protection against electrical overload.

The overload helps safeguard the compressor from excessive electrical currents, preventing potential damage and ensuring the longevity of the refrigerator. It acts as a safety measure by interrupting the power supply to the compressor when necessary.

Causes of a faulty overload can include power surges, excessive heat, or electrical component failure. These factors can lead to the overload not properly regulating the electrical flow, resulting in compressor issues or the refrigerator not cooling effectively.

Symptoms of a bad overload may include:

• The refrigerator not cooling or maintaining the desired temperature
• Unusual noises coming from the compressor
• The compressor not running at all

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 start relay (EMB) energizes the compressor's start winding so the refrigerator can begin cooling reliably. Replacing a weak relay can resolve hard-start clicking and restore consistent operation when the compressor struggles to start.

• Delivers initial power to the compressor's start winding, then disengages once the motor is up to speed
• Supports reliable compressor starts and reduces repeated start attempts
• Common symptoms: clicking from the compressor area, rising refrigerator/freezer temperatures, compressor starts then stops after a few seconds, or heat damage on the old relay
• Works with EMB-style compressor connections used on select units

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Remove the rear access cover; note wire positions; pull the old relay straight off the compressor terminals
• Seat the new relay fully on the compressor pins; reconnect the harness and any run capacitor lead exactly as removed
• Reinstall the cover and restore power; use caution—capacitors may retain a charge

This terminal block cover protects the appliance's electrical connection area from accidental contact and debris, helping reduce the risk of shorts and corrosion while keeping wiring secure and contained. What it does:

• Covers and shields the power terminal/block where the power cord connects
• Helps prevent accidental contact with live terminals and reduces short risk
• Keeps out dust, lint and debris that can cause corrosion or arcing
• Useful when the original cover is cracked, missing or showing burn marks

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing electrical components
• Typically installs over the terminal block and secures with the existing fastener(s); inspect mounting hardware for wear
• Replace if cracked, melted or if terminals are exposed; ensure cover seats fully before restoring power

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This screw secures the refrigerator door hinge in place, allowing the door operates smoothly and seals properly. 

Over time, screws can become loose or go missing during repairs or adjustments, which can lead to a misaligned door, compromised sealing, and increased energy consumption. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• The refrigerator door seems misaligned or does not close properly.
• Increased effort needed to open or close the door.
• Unusual gaps around the door seal when closed.
• The door might squeak or make other noises during operation.

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

Size: 1/4 inch hex head, 10-12 x 1/2 inch.

This rubber grommet provides a tidy, protective seal where hoses, wires, or shafts pass through the appliance cabinet—helping prevent chafing, reduce vibration noise, and maintain proper sealing around openings. What it does:

• Cushions and protects wiring or hoses from rubbing against metal edges
• Helps maintain a seal to reduce water or air bypass where fitted
• Dampens vibration and reduces related noise at the penetration point
• Keeps openings finished and helps prevent further component wear

• Disconnect power (and water for washers) before starting any repair
• Inspect the mounting area for sharp edges or damage; replace if surrounding parts are compromised
• Push the grommet into the opening and seat evenly; do not stretch excessively
