The Heater is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It safely provides heat inside the refrigerator compartment to prevent food from freezing and helps maintain proper temperature levels. 

Causes of a bad heater can include dust buildup or mineral deposits over time that cause decreased efficiency, burning out of heating elements due to prolonged use, or damage from moisture or liquid spills inside the refrigerator.   

Symptoms of a bad heater include:

• Inability to maintain proper refrigeration temperatures 
• Higher energy usage as the compressor runs excessively 
• Frost or ice buildup inside the refrigerator 
• A burnt smell emitting from the heater area

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

The Evaporator is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. As the main heat exchange component, it plays a vital role in removing heat from the refrigerator compartments to maintain proper cooling performance.

Causes of a bad evaporator can include bent fin coils inhibiting airflow, cracked or damaged tubing preventing proper refrigerant circulation, or debris buildup obstructing heat transfer.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator are:  

• Inability to maintain set temperatures inside compartments
• Frost or condensation accumulating quicker than normal  
• Unusual noises or vibrations from the refrigeration system
• Refrigerant leaks requiring high pressure service

This genuine Whirlpool evaporator coil is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore refrigerators.

• Route the harness following original clips and channels; avoid contact with moving or hot parts

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

The Compressor Start Device is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This device is essential for initiating the compressor, which is responsible for circulating refrigerant through the cooling system, thus maintaining the refrigerator's temperature. The start device works by providing the necessary power boost to get the compressor running.

Over time, the compressor start device can wear out or fail due to electrical issues, regular wear and tear, or overheating. A faulty start device will prevent the compressor from starting, resulting in cooling problems.

Symptoms of a bad compressor start device include:

• The refrigerator not cooling
• The compressor not running or starting intermittently
• Clicking sounds coming from the refrigerator
• Overheating of the refrigerator

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

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

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

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

A small retainer clip that secures panels, hoses or wiring to keep components in place and reduce noise from loose parts. Replacing a worn or broken clip restores proper fit and helps prevent intermittent contact or rattling. What it does

• Secures trim, panels, hoses or wire harnesses to mounting points to prevent movement.
• Keeps components aligned so switches and seals engage correctly.
• Stops rattling or vibrating noises caused by loose parts.
• Helps prevent abrasion or chafing of wires and hoses by holding them away from edges.

• Install by snapping or sliding the clip into the factory mounting slot; use needle-nose pliers if needed.
• Power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal parts.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and mating tabs for damage; replace if worn for a secure fit.
