Parts for Whirlpool WRT134TFDB00: 05 - Unit Parts

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.

This bale strap is a direct-replacement part that helps secure the dryer's latch/bale assembly so the door closes and stays closed during operation. Replacing a worn or broken strap restores reliable door engagement and safer drying cycles. What it does:

• Anchors the dryer door's latch/bale so the door remains properly closed during operation
• Prevents intermittent door opening that can stop cycles or cause heat loss
• Replaces a stretched, torn, or broken strap that no longer holds the latch securely
• Works with the door/latch mechanism to maintain safe operation during drying

• One bale strap

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Verify strap routing and attachment points match the original before reinstalling
• Basic hand tools are typically required; avoid forcing plastic clips to prevent breakage

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

This air baffle directs airflow inside the appliance to help maintain proper venting and consistent drying performance. It replaces a damaged or missing baffle to restore normal airflow and reduce rumbling or excess lint buildup. What it does

• Guides internal air flow for efficient venting and consistent cycle performance
• Helps prevent hotspots and reduces risk of overheating caused by restricted airflow
• Minimizes rattling or knocking from a loose or broken baffle
• Reduces excess lint accumulation by keeping air pathways clear

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify the appliance is completely powered off
• Remove the drum or access panel as required; installation may require basic hand tools
• Inspect surrounding seals and mounting tabs; replace if damaged to ensure secure fit

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.

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 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.

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool brand bottom-mount refrigerators. This motor powers the condenser fan which dissipates heat from the refrigeration system coils, maintaining cool interior temperatures.

Causes of failure include normal bearing wear from continuous rotations, or buildup obstructing free blade movement. 

Symptoms of a faulty motor include:  

• Elevated interior temperatures and frost propagation issues   
• Extended run times and higher energy consumption
• Grinding or buzzing noises emanating from the refrigeration system area

This Whirlpool replacement restores efficient heat removal and preserves food freshness. Compatible with KitchenAid, Maytag, and some Kenmore models too, it prevents future repair bills.

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.
