This sealer is a flexible sealing strip used to restore a tight fit where panels or doors meet, helping reduce leaks, drafts and moisture transfer. It replaces worn or damaged seals to help appliances run as intended. What it does:

• Creates a compression seal along a door or panel to prevent air and moisture leakage
• Helps maintain proper temperature control and reduces unwanted drafts
• Stops visible gaps caused by cracked, torn or flattened seal material
• Can reduce short-cycling related to poor sealing by improving the enclosure fit

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Remove the old seal carefully to avoid damaging surrounding trim or clips
• Clean mating surfaces thoroughly before installing the new sealer for best adhesion and fit
• Some installations require adhesive, retainer clips, or light trimming for a correct fit

This Leveler is the adjustable foot that supports and levels your appliance. Replacing a worn, cracked, or missing leg helps stop rocking and vibration, improving stability and ensuring smooth, quiet operation.

• Screws into the base to set height and keep the appliance level and secure

If you notice symptoms such as loose or wobbly components, difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door, or abnormal noises while the microwave is in use, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad microwave screw include:

• Loose or wobbly components
• Difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door
• Abnormal noises during operation

Restore your Whirlpool microwave by replacing the faulty or missing microwave screw with this genuine OEM part.

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

A temperature-sensing thermistor that monitors internal appliance temperature so the control board can regulate cooling and defrost cycles for stable performance. Replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature feedback. What it does:

• Measures internal temperature and sends readings to the appliance control board.
• Helps control compressor, fan, and defrost timing for consistent cooling.
• A failing thermistor can cause erratic temperatures, long run times, or inadequate cooling.
• Commonly linked to symptoms like temperature fluctuations, frost buildup, or an overworking compressor.

• One thermistor temperature sensor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness gently to avoid damage; avoid bending the sensor element.
• Reinstall with original mounting and routing to ensure accurate temperature reading.

This wire harness cover protects and organizes appliance wiring, helping prevent abrasion and accidental contact for safer, more reliable operation. It keeps wiring routed and out of the way of moving parts. What it does:

• Shields wiring from rubbing, chafing and heat exposure that can cause shorts
• Helps keep harnesses routed neatly to reduce strain and interference
• Can stop intermittent electrical issues when worn covers expose wiring
• Commonly replaced when cover is cracked, melted, or missing

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting work
• Remove access panels as required; secure the harness under the cover and fasten per factory locations
• Use basic hand tools (screwdriver/socket) and avoid forcing clips to prevent breakage
• Repair or replace the harness before reassembling

This evaporator fan motor drives the freezer fan that circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and through the ducts. Replacing a weak or noisy motor restores proper airflow for consistent cooling and defrost performance.

• Circulates cold air from the evaporator through the freezer and fresh food compartments
• Helps maintain even temperatures and quicker recovery after door openings
• Common failure symptoms: warm refrigerator section, little/no airflow from vents, loud humming/squealing or intermittent fan operation, and frost/ice buildup on the freezer's rear panel
• Also known as the freezer fan motor or "Motor-Evap"

• Disconnect power; remove shelves/drawers and the rear interior freezer panel to access the fan
• Note wiring and mounting orientation; unplug connectors and remove the old motor
• Transfer the fan blade and any rubber isolators/mounting hardware from the original motor if needed
• Ensure blade orientation and wire routing clear the blades; test operation before reassembly

This door-position switch detects whether the appliance door is closed and tells the control when it's safe to run, restoring normal safety interlock function. It replaces a worn or failed switch to help appliances start only with the door securely closed. What it does

• Senses door open/closed position so the appliance will operate only when the door is shut
• Restores safety interlock that prevents motor/startup with the door open
• Common symptom fix: appliance won't start or stops immediately when the door is closed/open
• Resolves intermittent start issues or machines that only run with the door held shut

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools typically required; access panels or door trim may need removal
• Handle the switch and terminals gently to avoid damage; wiring matches original
• After installation, restore power and test door operation and normal cycle start

This thermistor is the refrigerator/freezer temperature sensor that reads internal air temperature and sends that signal to the control board so the appliance maintains correct cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature control. What it does:

• Senses cabinet or evaporator temperature and relays the reading to the control board
• Helps the control system cycle the compressor, fans, and defrost as needed
• Commonly fails when the fridge runs too long, runs constantly, or shows incorrect temperatures
• Can cause improper cooling or defrost control when damaged or disconnected

• One thermistor temperature sensor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing components
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on wires or kinking the probe
• Reinstall in the same location and routing as the original to ensure accurate readings

This is the appliance control box — the electrical assembly that manages cycle selection, timing and power distribution so your appliance responds correctly to user commands. Replacing a faulty control box restores normal control and cycle operation. What it does:

• Receives inputs from the user interface and controls cycle timing and sequences
• Switches power to motors, valves, heaters or other components as directed
• Sends/receives signals to control indicators and status displays
• Can cause no-start, unresponsive controls, error codes, or incorrect cycles when faulty

• Disconnect all power before attempting replacement to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the board carefully and avoid static discharge; use ESD protection if available
• Reinstall all covers and wire connectors securely; test appliance functions after power is restored
