The Defrost Thermostat and Wiring Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part ensures that the refrigerator's evaporator coils do not become overly frosty, thereby maintaining optimal air flow and cooling efficiency throughout the unit.  

Causes for issues with the defrost thermostat and wiring harness often include electrical failures, such as short circuits or broken wires, wear and tear on the thermostat, or a malfunction that prevents it from accurately sensing temperature changes.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Defrost Thermostat and Wiring Harness include:

• Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator or freezer compartment becoming too warm
• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
• Water leaking inside the refrigerator due to ice melting and not draining properly

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

This refrigerator drip pan, also called an evaporator drain pan, mounts on the base to catch defrost water and allow it to evaporate. Replacing a cracked or warped pan helps prevent puddles and moisture damage around the appliance. What it does:

• Collects water from the defrost cycle and holds it for evaporation using condenser/fan airflow
• Helps keep water off the floor and out of the cabinet base area
• Typical failure symptoms include water under or behind the refrigerator, recurring puddles after a defrost cycle, visible cracks/warping, or musty odors
• Restores proper fit when the original pan is damaged, heat-distorted, or missing

• 1 refrigerator drip pan

• Disconnect power and pull the unit forward to access the rear; wear gloves and use caution around sharp metal edges
• Remove the lower rear access panel; carefully lift and remove the old pan from its supports
• Clean the area; transfer any pads or clips from the old pan if present; seat the new pan fully on the supports/locators so it's level and secure
• Reinstall the rear panel, return the refrigerator to position, restore power, and check for correct placement after the next defrost cycle

This genuine replacement screw secures appliance components for reliable fit and function, helping restore proper assembly and reduce rattling or loose panels. Use it to replace a stripped or missing fastener during repairs. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to maintain structural stability
• Prevents movement that can cause noise, vibration, or misalignment
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws to restore secure assembly
• Compatible where the OEM mounting screw is required for safe operation

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before performing any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the screw head
• Do not overtighten; snug until secure to prevent damage to parts
• If other fasteners show wear, inspect and replace as needed for safe operation

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 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 evaporator coil assembly circulates refrigerant inside the freezer compartment to absorb heat and enable proper cooling. Replacing a damaged or clogged evaporator restores efficient frost control and temperature performance. What it does:

• Evaporates refrigerant to remove heat from the freezer compartment.
• Enables the freezer's cooling cycle and helps maintain proper temperatures.
• When failing, can cause poor cooling, excessive frost/ice buildup, or long run times.
• Works with the refrigerator's defrost system and sealed refrigerant circuit.

• One evaporator coil assembly.

• Disconnect power before starting; sharp edges may be exposed—use gloves.
• Access typically requires removing interior panels; follow OEM disassembly steps.
• Verify defrost components (heater, thermostat, control) during replacement to avoid repeat failure.

This spring hose clamp secures flexible hoses to fittings to prevent leaks and keep connections tight. It's a simple, durable retaining clip used on water and vent lines to maintain a reliable seal during operation. What it does:

• Holds a hose or duct onto a spud or barb to prevent leaks and disconnection
• Keeps hoses secure against vibration and pressure changes
• Helps stop water leaks or airflow loss caused by loose connections
• Works on flexible rubber or corrugated hoses in laundry and appliance water/vent systems

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing the appliance.
• Relieve any pressure and drain hoses before removing the old clamp.
• Use appropriate pliers or clamp tool to expand or compress the clamp for removal and installation.
• Test for leaks after reassembly.

The Refrigerator Drain Tube is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is the tube responsible for draining condensation and any other moisture that collects at the back of the refrigerator compartment. The drain tube guides liquid to the evaporation pan located below the refrigerator to be evaporated.

Symptoms of a bad drain tube include:

• Water collecting in the back of the refrigerator  
• Musty odors emanating from the refrigerator
• Water leakage from the bottom of the refrigerator

Causes of a bad drain tube can be blockages from food particles or debris, cracks or leaks that prevent proper drainage, or damage due to impact or kinking of the tube over time. 

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

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.
