Parts for Gladiator GAFZ30FDGB01: Unit Parts

The Compressor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is the main component responsible for cooling the fridge interior and freezing food. The compressor operates the refrigeration cycle by compressing and condensing refrigerant which allows for the critical exchange of heat.

Symptoms of a bad compressor include:

• Inconsistent or fluctuating interior temperatures  
• Frozen foods not freezing properly
• Abnormal vibrations or sounds emanating from the rear of the fridge
• The fridge failing to cool at all

Causes of compressor failure can be a gradual decline in performance over many years of use. Manufacturing defects or damage from moisture or impact can also cause premature failure.

Note: Includes start device, capacitor, drier, and grommets. Also, order tubing kit AP3083228

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

The Start Device is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. It initiates compressor and condenser functions at startup to begin cooling cycles. This includes relays between temperature sensors, thermostat contacts, and electrical power feeds.

Symptoms of a faulty start device include:

• The refrigerator failing to maintain proper temperatures 
• Abnormal buzzing or humming noises emanating from inside
• Lights or fans running without associated cooling 

Causes can be related to the usual wear of electrical contacts or voltage drops over extended use.

Replacing the start device with this genuine OEM part helps keep cooling functionality dependable. This Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. 

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

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.
