Parts for Whirlpool W8CRNGMXQ00: 04 - Unit Parts

The FreshFlow Refrigerator Air Filter is an OEM component for Whirlpool and Maytag refrigerators. Located inside the ventilation system, this filter purifies circulated air. This air filter is 3" wide by 2" high and white in color. It should be replaced every 6 months to ensure the best performance.

Causes of failure relate to clogging from trapped dust, dander and other allergens despite regular replacement intervals. Performance decreases as filter media becomes saturated over months of use.  

Symptoms of a dirty or blocked refrigerator air filter include:

• Reduced airflow causes higher compressor runtime hours  
• Odors being pulled into the fridge from unfiltered vents  
• Shortening of food storage life due to unpurified air exposure
• Reduced fan speeds or strange noises originating from the vents

This genuine Whirlpool filter is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana models as well.

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

• Remove old grommet(s) and clean mounting surfaces before installing the new grommet
• If multiple mounts show wear, replace them as a set for balanced support

This compressor mounting grommet kit replaces worn or damaged rubber mounts that secure the compressor and reduce vibration. Restoring proper mounts helps cut down on compressor noise and prevents movement-related wear. What it does:

• Cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and rattling noise
• Keeps the compressor secured to its mounting bracket during operation
• Helps prevent stress and wear on mounting hardware and tubing
• Addresses symptoms like excessive vibration, banging, or unusual compressor noise

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Support the compressor while removing and installing mounts to prevent strain or shifting
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid over-tightening fasteners that can compress or damage grommets

The Roller is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to facilitate the smooth movement of your refrigerator, making it easier to position and clean underneath the appliance. The roller supports the weight of the refrigerator and allows for easy adjustments in placement.

Causes of a bad fridge roller can include wear and tear from frequent movement, exposure to heavy loads that can damage the roller, or accumulation of dirt and debris that can impede its function. When a roller is damaged, it can affect the stability and mobility of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad Roller include:

• Difficulty moving the refrigerator
• Unusual noises when the refrigerator is moved
• Uneven leveling of the refrigerator
• The refrigerator not staying in place

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

This compressor start device plugs onto the compressor terminals to help it start and run reliably. Replacing a weak start device can restore cooling performance and stop repeated clicking or short-cycling when the compressor tries to start. What it does:

• Provides the initial power path to start the compressor motor
• Works with the overload protector to help safeguard the compressor during high current/overheat conditions
• Fixes: refrigerator not cooling or warming temperatures
• Fixes: rapid clicking from the rear as the compressor attempts to start
• Fixes: compressor starts then stops after a few seconds

• One start device assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; pull the unit forward and remove the rear access panel if present
• Note wire orientation; pull the old start device straight off the compressor pins and push the new device on fully in the same orientation
• Ensure all connectors are fully seated and any retainers are secure before restoring power
• If your model uses a separate run capacitor or overload protector, transfer/reconnect those components as originally installed

The Start Device is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a critical role in activating the compressor, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the correct temperature for food preservation.

Over time, the start device can fail due to electrical issues, general wear and tear, or overheating. A faulty start device can prevent the compressor from starting, which can lead to temperature fluctuations and spoilage of stored food.

Symptoms of a bad Start Device include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not running or clicking repeatedly without starting
• Unusual humming or buzzing noises

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

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 insul-sound deadening pad reduces vibration and noise by dampening panels and components in laundry and kitchen appliances. It's a small adhesive-backed sound/isolation pad used where noise or rattles transfer through metal surfaces. What it does

• Dampens rattles and reduces structure-borne noise from panels, cabinets and housings.
• Helps isolate vibrating components from appliance chassis to lower perceived sound.
• Commonly applied behind control panels, cabinet walls or on motor mounts to cut vibration transmission.
• Useful when worn, detached or hardened factory pads allow increased noise.

• One insul-sound deadening pad

• Disconnect power before servicing an appliance to avoid shock or injury.
• Clean and dry mounting surface; press pad firmly to ensure adhesive contact.
• Replace only in the original location; do not cover vents or moving parts.
• If adhesive is weak, use OEM-approved adhesive; avoid solvents that may damage finishes.

This evaporator tray collects and channels defrost and condensation water away from the refrigerator evaporator, helping prevent leaks and ice buildup so the cooling system runs cleanly and reliably. What it does:

• Captures defrost and condensation water from the evaporator coil
• Directs water to the drain system to avoid pooling inside the cabinet
• Helps reduce ice buildup around the evaporator area
• Supports normal defrost operation and prevents water-related leaks or odors

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing parts to avoid electrical shock.
