This compressor mounting grommet kit replaces worn or damaged rubber mounts that secure the compressor and reduce vibration. Restoring proper mounts helps cut down on compressor noise and prevents movement-related wear. What it does:

• Cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and rattling noise
• Keeps the compressor secured to its mounting bracket during operation
• Helps prevent stress and wear on mounting hardware and tubing
• Addresses symptoms like excessive vibration, banging, or unusual compressor noise

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Support the compressor while removing and installing mounts to prevent strain or shifting
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid over-tightening fasteners that can compress or damage grommets

This refrigerator compressor is the heart of the sealed cooling system. It compresses and circulates refrigerant so the fresh food and freezer sections reach and maintain set temperatures, restoring cooling performance when the original unit has failed.

• Compresses and moves refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat from the cabinet
• Restores cooling when a failed or seized compressor is the cause of no-cool/weak-cool conditions
• Symptoms include a warm refrigerator or freezer, extended run time with little cooling
• Clicking or humming from the compressor area with no start, or overheating and cycling on overload

• Sealed-system service requires EPA Section 608 certification, recovery equipment, brazing, deep vacuum, and precise recharging
• Disconnect power and properly recover refrigerant before opening the system; replace the filter-drier, braze with nitrogen purge, leak-test, evacuate, then charge to the specification on the model's data plate
• Transfer any model-specific grommets, brackets, tubing, and external inverter/start components from the original unit or replace as directed in the service manual

This terminal cover protects the appliance's power terminal block by shielding live connections and reducing the risk of accidental contact. It restores a missing or damaged cover so the terminal area is safer and neater. What it does:

• Shields the terminal block to help prevent accidental contact with live electrical connections.
• Helps contain and hide the power cord connection for a cleaner appearance.
• Used when the original cover is cracked, broken, missing, or shows signs of arcing or heat damage.
• Supports safe service access by covering exposed terminals during normal operation.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access the terminal area; ensure terminals are cool and dry before handling.
• Align cover over the terminal block and secure according to the OEM design; replace any damaged fasteners with correct OEM parts.
• If you see burn marks, melted insulation, or loose terminals, replace or repair the affected wiring/terminal block before installing the cover.

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.

Size: 1/4 inch hex head, 10-12 x 1/2 inch.

This condenser coil removes heat from the refrigerant so your refrigerator can cool efficiently. Replacing a damaged or clogged condenser restores proper heat dissipation and can reduce excessive run time and poor cooling. What it does

• Releases heat from the sealed refrigeration system so the fridge can maintain set temperatures
• Helps the compressor run less frequently when operating normally
• A cracked, bent, or clogged condenser can cause poor cooling or warm interior temperatures
• Excessive dust or debris on the condenser may lead to higher energy use and longer run cycles

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access may require moving the refrigerator and removing the rear or lower access panel
• Coils and edges can be sharp—wear gloves and eye protection

Size: 8-32 x .312 inch.

This condenser fan motor spins the fan that moves air across the condenser coils and around the compressor. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores proper heat removal so the cooling system can maintain stable temperatures and run efficiently.

• Drives the condenser fan to move airflow through the condenser section
• Helps dissipate heat from the refrigeration system and cool the compressor
• Failure may present as the condenser fan not running
• May also cause warm temperatures, longer run times, or loud scraping/whirring noises near the rear or bottom of the unit
• Can contribute to the compressor running hot

• Disconnect power before servicing; use gloves to protect from sharp edges
• Access the condenser area; install the new motor in the same orientation as the original
• Transfer the existing fan blade, bracket, and grommets if required; keep wiring clear of the blade
• Restore power and verify fan operation with the system running

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.

This replacement water fill tube routes water to the appliance's dispenser/ice system so you get proper fill and reduced leaks. It restores reliable water delivery when the original tube is cracked or clogged. What it does:

• Directs water from the supply to the dispenser or ice/water mechanism
• Prevents leaks when intact and properly secured
• Helps ensure consistent water flow for ice makers and dispensers
• Worn or damaged tubes can cause pooling, low water delivery, or intermittent filling

• One replacement water fill tube

• Turn off the appliance power and water supply before starting work
• Inspect fittings and seals; replace clamps or gaskets if worn
• Slide tube into place and secure with the original or new clamps for a leak-free connection

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

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This electronic power supply board converts incoming AC power to the low-voltage DC used by the refrigerator's controls and components. Replacing a failed board restores stable power to the UI, fans, lights, and cooling functions.

• Converts line voltage to regulated low-voltage DC for control electronics
• Distributes power to the main control, display, sensors, fans, and valve/relay circuits
• Common signs include a blank or non-responsive control panel, no interior lights or dispenser, intermittent power/clicking, or the unit not running even though the outlet has power
