Parts for Whirlpool WRT111SFAF00: 04 - Unit Parts

This heater provides controlled warmth to prevent ice buildup and keep your refrigerator operating efficiently. It activates as designed by the control system to clear frost or protect targeted areas so airflow and water flow remain unobstructed. What it does:

• Melts frost from key areas to restore proper airflow and cooling performance
• Helps prevent freeze-ups in components such as evaporators or water lines, depending on model
• Supports consistent temperatures and reliable ice/water dispensing
• Common symptoms of a failed heater: heavy frost on the back panel, reduced cooling or warm fresh-food section, frozen dispenser line, longer run times

• 1 heater

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the heater's location per your model (often behind an interior rear panel near the evaporator or along a fill/water tube)
• Remove built-up ice, transfer any original clips/brackets, and route wiring exactly as factory
• Avoid damaging coil fins or insulation; restore power and allow a complete cycle to verify normal operation

A small retainer clip that secures panels, hoses or wiring to keep components in place and reduce noise from loose parts. Replacing a worn or broken clip restores proper fit and helps prevent intermittent contact or rattling. What it does

• Secures trim, panels, hoses or wire harnesses to mounting points to prevent movement.
• Keeps components aligned so switches and seals engage correctly.
• Stops rattling or vibrating noises caused by loose parts.
• Helps prevent abrasion or chafing of wires and hoses by holding them away from edges.

• Install by snapping or sliding the clip into the factory mounting slot; use needle-nose pliers if needed.
• Power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal parts.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and mating tabs for damage; replace if worn for a secure fit.
• If removal is difficult, apply a small amount of penetrating lubricant and work carefully to avoid breaking adjacent plastic.

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 grommet is a small protective seal used where a hose, tube, wire, or component passes through or mounts to the appliance cabinet. It cushions the connection and helps prevent leaks, vibration, and wear for reliable operation.

• Provides a snug barrier between parts and metal openings to protect hoses, tubes, and wiring
• Helps seal against moisture to reduce seepage
• Dampens vibration and rattling noises
• Replace if cracked, hardened, missing, or no longer stays seated; symptoms may include drips at a pass-through, buzzing/rattling, or a loose fit

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if applicable
• Access the grommet location and note orientation/routing
• Remove the old grommet and clean the opening
• Press the new grommet fully into place; reassemble and test for leaks/noise

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 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.

The Axle is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This axle allows it to be easily repositioned or moved for cleaning and maintenance. It supports the rollers that enable the refrigerator to glide across the floor.

Common causes of a bad axle include prolonged use, excessive weight, or impact damage, which can lead to the axle bending or breaking.

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator roller axle include:

• Difficulty moving the refrigerator
• Uneven or wobbling movement
• Scratches or damage to the floor
• The refrigerator not staying level

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

This evaporator tray collects defrost and condensate water from the evaporator to prevent leaks under the appliance. It helps route meltwater to the drain and reduces water damage or pooling beneath the unit. What it does:

• Catches defrost and condensate water from the evaporator section
• Channels water toward the drain or evaporator drain tube to prevent leaks
• Helps keep the cabinet floor dry and protects electronics and components below
• Reduces odor and mold risk by directing water away from trapped areas

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Remove access panels or shelving as required to reach the evaporator area
• Inspect and clear any drain tube clogs or mounting clips before reinstalling
• Handle carefully to avoid bending or cracking; ensure secure fit and proper drainage after installation

This mounting bracket provides a secure attachment point for appliance components, restoring proper alignment and support so panels and assemblies stay in place during normal use. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to match the original bracket form. What it does:

• Secures panels, assemblies, or components to the appliance frame to prevent movement and rattling
• Restores proper alignment to doors, trim, or internal supports that have shifted or loosened
• Reduces noise caused by loose fittings and prevents excessive wear from vibration
• Works where the original bracket is bent, cracked, or broken and no longer holds parts firmly

• One mounting bracket

• Disconnect power and, for gas appliances, shut off the gas supply before starting any repair
• Use the original mounting screws or the correct-size fasteners; tighten to secure but avoid over-torquing
• Handle panels and edges carefully to avoid damage or personal injury; consider using gloves and eye protection

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.
