Parts for Whirlpool WRT134TFDM00: 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 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

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 appliances, designed to provide the necessary electrical charge to start and run the compressor motor. This part attaches to the compressor to aids in maintaining a consistent motor speed and ensuring smooth operation. The run capacitor plays a crucial role in the appliance's electrical system, storing and releasing energy as needed to power the motor.

Causes of a bad Run Capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating, which can lead to a failure in providing the necessary start-up energy or maintaining motor speed.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The appliance does not start.
• The motor shuts off shortly after starting.
• The appliance is humming but not running.
• Increased energy consumption.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located inside the machine compartment, it powers the condenser fan needed for heat exchange.

Causes involve standard motor degradation from prolonged usage. Excess dirt buildup over time may also hinder adequate blade movement.

Symptoms of a faulty condenser fan motor include:

• Inability to adequately cool interior compartments
• The refrigerator runs continuously with the exterior surface staying hot
• Grinding or buzzing noises emanating from the refrigerator's rear
• Visible condenser fan blades stalled or rotating slowly

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models.

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

This replacement fan blade mounts on the refrigerator evaporator fan motor to move cold air through the freezer and fresh-food compartments, helping maintain consistent cooling and airflow. Designed to restore proper circulation when the original blade is damaged or broken. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, warped, or missing evaporator fan blade to restore airflow across the evaporator coil
• Helps reduce uneven cooling, frost build-up, and noisy or inefficient fan operation when blade damage is the root cause
• Works with the existing evaporator fan motor to push cold air through the compartment ducts
• Compatible with applications that use a small plastic multi-vane evaporator fan blade

• One fan blade

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Remove interior panels and fan shroud to access the evaporator fan; note the blade orientation for correct reinstallation
• Handle the blade gently to avoid cracking; secure it onto the motor shaft per OEM alignment
• If the fan motor shows excessive noise or does not turn freely, replace the motor as well

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.
