Parts for Kitchenaid KBRP36MHT01: 09 - Upper Unit Parts

This rubber grommet cushions and secures the compressor to the fridge frame, helping reduce vibration and noise while protecting mounting hardware. It's a direct-fit replacement for a single compressor mounting point. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to reduce operational noise and rattling
• Protects compressor studs and mounting bracket from metal-on-metal wear
• Helps keep the compressor properly positioned during operation
• Commonly replaced when cracked, flattened, or missing and causing vibration or noise

• One compressor-mount grommet

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Support the compressor or work with the unit tilted to relieve pressure on mounts
• Remove old grommet(s) and clean mounting surfaces before installing the new grommet
• If multiple mounts show wear, replace them as a set for balanced support

This compressor overload is the thermal protector for your refrigerator's compressor. It opens the circuit when the motor overheats or draws excessive current, helping prevent damage and restoring reliable starts when the original protector fails.

• Interrupts power to protect the compressor during overheat or overcurrent conditions
• If failed, symptoms include: compressor won't start, repeated clicking or brief hum then stop, warm refrigerator/freezer, and an unusually hot compressor shell
• A weak protector may trip repeatedly and reset after cooling, causing intermittent cooling
• Works in tandem with the start relay/device to manage compressor startup current

• Disconnect power before servicing and pull the unit forward for rear access
• Remove the rear cover; note wire positions and take a photo for reference
• Pull the old overload straight off the compressor terminal; transfer leads and firmly seat the new overload in the same orientation
• Capacitors can retain a charge—handle with care; reinstall cover and restore power to test

This terminal block cover protects the appliance's electrical connection area from accidental contact and debris, helping reduce the risk of shorts and corrosion while keeping wiring secure and contained. What it does:

• Covers and shields the power terminal/block where the power cord connects
• Helps prevent accidental contact with live terminals and reduces short risk
• Keeps out dust, lint and debris that can cause corrosion or arcing
• Useful when the original cover is cracked, missing or showing burn marks

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing electrical components
• Typically installs over the terminal block and secures with the existing fastener(s); inspect mounting hardware for wear
• Replace if cracked, melted or if terminals are exposed; ensure cover seats fully before restoring power

This PTC start relay mounts on the compressor and momentarily powers the start winding to get the motor running, then disengages for normal operation. Replacing a weak relay can stop repeated clicking and help restore cooling.

• Provides initial boost to the compressor's start winding for reliable startup
• Automatically drops out after startup so the compressor runs on the run winding
• Helps address symptoms like warm temperatures, compressor clicking or humming without starting, or frequent overload trips
• Failure may show as rattling, burn marks, or a melted relay housing

• Disconnect power and remove the rear access panel to reach the compressor
• Allow components to cool; note wire locations and take a reference photo
• Pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins; align and firmly seat the new relay in the same orientation, then reconnect wires
• If your unit uses a run capacitor and/or separate overload protector, reconnect per the wiring diagram before restoring power

This is a genuine replacement screw used to secure panels, brackets, and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores proper fastening so loose parts stop rattling and panels stay aligned. What it does

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets, or mounting hardware to appliance chassis
• Helps stop vibration and rattling caused by missing or stripped fasteners
• Restores secure connections after repair or part replacement
• Matches OEM thread specification to fit intended mounting holes

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand and tighten until snug; do not overtighten
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged

This genuine replacement screw secures panels and components so your appliance stays stable and trim pieces fit properly. It's a simple, exact-fit fastener intended to replace a missing or damaged mounting screw. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, control housings or brackets to the appliance frame
• Restores secure fit when a screw is missing, stripped, or corroded
• Helps eliminate rattling or loose panels caused by a missing fastener
• Matches OEM thread and head style for correct seating and torque

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; snug until parts are firmly seated
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety guidelines before servicing

The Nut is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This small yet essential component is used to secure various parts of the refrigerator, such as shelves, panels, or brackets, ensuring stability and proper alignment. Its durable design ensures reliable performance in the demanding environment of a refrigerator.

Causes of a bad or missing Nut can include wear over time, accidental stripping of threads, or loss during maintenance or repairs. A damaged or missing nut can lead to loose components and reduced functionality.

Symptoms of a bad or missing Nut include:

• Loose or wobbly shelves, brackets, or panels
• Difficulty keeping refrigerator components securely in place
• Rattling or unusual noises during operation

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

The Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is essential for controlling the defrost cycle of the refrigerator, ensuring that the appliance operates efficiently by periodically melting any frost buildup on the evaporator coils. By regulating the defrosting process, the timer helps maintain the optimal temperature and energy efficiency of the refrigerator.

Causes of a bad timer can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or exposure to power surges. When the timer fails, the defrost cycle may not run correctly, leading to issues with frost buildup and inefficient cooling.

Symptoms of a bad timer include:

• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator being too warm or too cold
• The defrost cycle not initiating or running too frequently

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

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure panels and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances, restoring loose or missing fasteners for safe, stable operation. What it does

• Fastens appliance panels, brackets, and small components in place
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing screws that cause rattling or loose parts
• Helps restore proper alignment and reduce vibration-related noise
• Matches OEM fit and function for straightforward replacement

• One replacement screw

• Use the matching screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent thread or panel damage
• Turn off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal components

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This Power Disconnect Switch is the refrigerator's on/off service switch. It interrupts incoming power when actuated, allowing safe servicing or resetting of the unit without unplugging it and helping prevent unintended operation when access panels are open. What it does:

• Interrupts electrical power to the unit when switched off or tripped
• Provides a dedicated service disconnect for safe maintenance and resets
• Common symptoms: no power, intermittent shutdowns, or the unit won't stay on unless the switch is held/positioned
• Visual clues: broken actuator or heat-discolored/loose terminals

• Power disconnect switch only

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the switch location; on many built-in units it's behind the top grille or control panel
• Move wires one at a time to the new switch to maintain correct orientation
• Restore power and verify the switch cleanly turns the unit on and off
