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

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

• Replaces a worn or failed start switch that can prevent the appliance from starting
• Helps resolve symptoms like no response when pressing Start, intermittent starts, or needing to jiggle the button
• Works as the user-interface start control in combo control assemblies

• Disconnect power before accessing controls to avoid shock or damage
• Handle control components gently; avoid touching circuit traces or contacts
• Verify proper orientation and connector seating during reassembly
• Test operation after installation; inspect associated control components

This is a replacement hex-washer-head screw used to fasten panels and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores proper fastening to eliminate loose parts, rattles, or misaligned assemblies for safe, stable operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and small assemblies to the appliance frame
• Prevents vibration-related noise and movement from loose fasteners
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded screws to restore fit and alignment
• Simple hardware fix that supports other component repairs

• Unplug the appliance or shut off power before servicing
• Use the correct-size hex or socket driver to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and tighten until snug—do not overtighten to avoid damaging parts
• Inspect mating threads and replace any that are damaged

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator
