Parts for Whirlpool WC22001Q00: 04 - Unit Parts

This sealed-system compressor circulates refrigerant to cool your refrigerator, restoring normal cooling performance when the compressor fails. Designed to replace a failing compressor and help bring temperatures back to safe food-storage levels. What it does:

• Compresses and circulates refrigerant through the sealed refrigeration circuit
• Restores cooling when the compressor motor runs properly
• Commonly linked to symptoms like weak or no cooling, loud humming or clattering sounds, or a refrigerator that cycles continuously
• May be the cause if the appliance frequently trips a circuit breaker or shows hard-starting behavior

• Sealed-system work requires certified HVAC/refrigeration service and proper refrigerant handling per local regulations
• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; follow lockout/tagout practices
• Compressor replacement often requires system evacuation, brazing, and recharge — do not attempt unless qualified
• Use the identical replacement part number and follow OEM service instructions to avoid damage

This PTC motor start relay provides the temporary start circuit needed for the motor to spin up, restoring normal starting on appliances with a failed start relay. Simple replacement for appliances that won't start or hum at power-up. What it does

• Supplies a temporary current path to the motor's start winding during startup.
• Drops out once the motor reaches running speed so the motor operates on its run winding.
• Commonly used when an appliance won't start, hums but won't spin, or has intermittent start problems.
• Works with the motor and start circuitry; does not include a motor or harness.

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access usually requires removing an access panel—keep track of screws and mounting hardware.
• Replace with the exact part number shown on your appliance or parts list; ensure correct orientation and secure connections.

This rubber grommet cushions and secures the compressor to the fridge frame, helping reduce vibration and noise while protecting mounting hardware. It's a direct-fit replacement for a single compressor mounting point. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to reduce operational noise and rattling
• Protects compressor studs and mounting bracket from metal-on-metal wear
• Helps keep the compressor properly positioned during operation
• Commonly replaced when cracked, flattened, or missing and causing vibration or noise

• One compressor-mount grommet

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Support the compressor or work with the unit tilted to relieve pressure on mounts
• 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 overload protector is a safety device that mounts on the compressor and opens the circuit if overheating or excessive current is detected. Replacing a failed protector can help restore reliable compressor start-up and protect the motor from damage.

• Monitors compressor temperature/current and interrupts power during an overload condition
• Helps prevent compressor overheating and winding damage
• Common symptoms: refrigerator not cooling, compressor won't start, clicking or humming then shutting off, repeated cycling from the rear machine compartment
• Visible heat damage or a burnt odor at the start device area may indicate failure

• Disconnect power before servicing; work in a well-ventilated area
• Access the rear machine compartment; remove the cover to reach the compressor start assembly
• Note wire positions and orientation; the overload fits on the compressor terminal alongside the start device/relay—seat it fully and securely
• Inspect connectors for heat damage and ensure tight, clean terminals before restoring power

This terminal cover protects the appliance's power connection area, keeping wiring and terminals enclosed to reduce shock and short risks. It's a direct-replacement trim piece that restores the factory protective barrier around the terminal block. What it does:

• Covers and shields the terminal block where the power cord connects, helping prevent accidental contact.
• Helps reduce the risk of shorting or arcing at exposed power connections.
• Addresses symptoms like visible exposed terminals, loose or unprotected wiring at the power entry area, or a missing/broken cover.
• Restores the appliance's intended safety enclosure after repair or shipping damage.

• One terminal cover

• Always disconnect all power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing the terminal block.
• Remove the old cover and position the replacement over the terminal area so mounting holes align; secure with the original screw(s).
• Inspect terminal screws and wiring for tightness and damage while cover is off; do not attempt electrical repairs.
• If terminals or wiring are damaged, replace or repair those components before reinstalling the cover.
