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.

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 condenser fan blade mounts to the fan motor and pulls air across the condenser coil and compressor. Replacing a cracked or warped blade restores airflow so your refrigerator cools efficiently and the compressor runs at a safe temperature.

• Circulates air through the condenser coil and over the compressor to remove heat
• Helps maintain cooling performance and stable system pressures
• Common symptoms: weak or no airflow at the rear/base, rattling or scraping noises, wobble/vibration, visible cracks or missing fins, warmer-than-normal compartments or hot cabinet sides
• Works with the condenser fan motor and shroud; typically replaced when the hub is stripped or the blade is damaged

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator out; remove the rear access cover near the compressor
• Note blade orientation and depth on the motor shaft before removal
• Pull the old blade straight off; press the new blade onto the shaft until fully seated and ensure it spins freely with proper shroud clearance
• Reinstall the cover, restore power, and verify strong, quiet airflow

This rubber grommet provides a tidy, protective seal where hoses, wires, or shafts pass through the appliance cabinet—helping prevent chafing, reduce vibration noise, and maintain proper sealing around openings. What it does:

• Cushions and protects wiring or hoses from rubbing against metal edges
• Helps maintain a seal to reduce water or air bypass where fitted
• Dampens vibration and reduces related noise at the penetration point
• Keeps openings finished and helps prevent further component wear

• Disconnect power (and water for washers) before starting any repair
• Inspect the mounting area for sharp edges or damage; replace if surrounding parts are compromised
• Push the grommet into the opening and seat evenly; do not stretch excessively

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and small components. It provides a correct-fit fastener to restore secure attachment and eliminate rattles or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, brackets, or small assemblies to prevent movement and vibration

• Works as a direct-replacement fastener where the OEM screw specification is required

• One replacement screw

• Use the correct driver bit to avoid stripping the head; do not overtighten
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety guidelines when accessing internal components
• If the original mounting hole or threads are damaged, repair or replace the mounting hardware before reinstalling

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
