• 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

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.
• If removal is difficult, apply a small amount of penetrating lubricant and work carefully to avoid breaking adjacent plastic.

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.

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.

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.

This Drier Tube is an OEM part for Whirlpool Refrigerators. It plays a role in filtering and drying the refrigerant. Wear, leaks, or clogs can cause issues with this part.

What Causes a Bad Refrigerator Drier Tube:
Wear, leaks, or clogs within the tube can affect the refrigeration process or cause leaks.

Symptoms of a Bad Refrigerator Drier Tube:

• Insufficient cooling or freezing
• Refrigerant leaks or hissing sounds
• Excessive moisture around the tube area

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

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

The Compressor is an OEM part specifically designed for Whirlpool French door refrigerators. Located within the refrigerator compartment, it powers the refrigeration system cycle and cooling performance.  

Causes can be a loss of refrigerant or a buildup of condensation inside the sealed compressor casing over many years of use. Motor windings or pistons eventually experience wear from constant cycling.

Symptoms of a bad compressor include:

• The refrigerator is not reaching target temperatures  
• Frost backs up in visible lines or corners
• Distinct electrical burning smells arise  
• Unusual noises occur especially at start-up

This OEM Whirlpool replacement compressor restores efficient, reliable cooling. Its hardened internals withstand condensation and maintain precise motor functioning. 

This part is also compatible with some GE, Crosley, Samsung, and Kenmore French door refrigerators for long-term operation.

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
