W11236851 Refrigerator Genuine OEM Air Damper Diffuser The W11236851 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM air damper diffuser assembly for Whirlpool refrigerators, and also fits select Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Kenmore, and Ikea models. Located inside the refrigerator behind the evaporator cover, this damper controls the flow of cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment, opening and closing as needed to maintain the set temperatures in each section. Causes of a bad damper include wear and tear of the movable parts over time, failure of the actuator motor that powers it, or damage from something accidentally blocking the damper mechanism. Symptoms of a failing damper include the refrigerator section running too cold or too warm, the freezer section running too cool or too warm, difficulty maintaining set temperatures, excessive condensation inside the appliance, or ice accumulation.

Wear work gloves. Before disassembling anything, check whether food items or packaging have been accidentally pushed against the damper mechanism, since this can cause the same temperature symptoms as a genuinely failed part. Locate the evaporator cover, typically in the freezer or at the back of the fresh food compartment depending on your model, and remove it to access the damper assembly. Photograph the wiring connection to the actuator motor before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wiring harness from the old damper assembly, remove any mounting clips or fasteners, and pull it free. Install the new W11236851 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness fully, and secure any mounting hardware. Reinstall the evaporator cover. Restore power and monitor both the refrigerator and freezer temperatures over the next 24 hours to confirm consistent, accurate cooling in both compartments. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (model-dependent), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My refrigerator section is too warm but the freezer is fine. Is this the part I need? Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing air damper. Since this damper controls how much cold air moves from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment, a stuck or broken damper can leave the refrigerator section too warm even while the freezer maintains a normal temperature. My freezer or fridge is too cold instead of too warm. Could this still be the damper? Yes. A damper stuck in the open position can let too much cold air flow into the refrigerator compartment, making it colder than intended, while a damper stuck closed can have the opposite effect. Both too-cold and too-warm symptoms in either compartment can point to this same part. What should I check before assuming the damper itself is broken? Check that nothing — food packaging, containers, or shifted items — is physically blocking the damper mechanism, since accidental blocking can produce the same temperature symptoms as a genuinely worn or failed damper, without requiring a replacement part at all. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original damper and actuator design of the air damper diffuser originally installed in your refrigerator.

Genuine OEM WR60X27396 Refrigerator Air Damper Assembly The WR60X27396 is a genuine OEM air damper assembly for GE refrigerators, including side-by-side and bottom-mount models. The damper is a motorized flap that opens and closes to direct cold air from the freezer into the fresh food compartment, which is how the refrigerator keeps the fresh food section at the right temperature.

5040JA2004A Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Motor Damper Grommet (Rear) The 5040JA2004A is a genuine LG OEM rubber motor damper grommet for LG and select Kenmore refrigerators. This small rubber component mounts and isolates a fan motor from the surrounding bracket, cushioning it against vibration as the motor runs. This is the rear-position grommet; LG refrigerators typically use more than one grommet to support a fan motor from multiple points. Made of rubber, this grommet naturally degrades over years of exposure to cold temperatures and constant vibration, eventually cracking, hardening, or losing its cushioning shape. Once it fails, the motor it supports is no longer properly isolated, and the metal motor bracket can end up in direct contact with the surrounding housing. A worn or failed grommet typically shows up as new or worsening rattling, buzzing, or vibration noise coming from the back of the refrigerator, especially noticeable when the fan motor is running. It directly replaces 5040JA2004B, 1268010, AP4635690, AH3526229, EA3526229, PS3526229, EAP3526229, and PD00027884. Quick Answer The 5040JA2004A Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Motor Damper Grommet (Rear) fixes LG and select Kenmore refrigerators with new or worsening rattling, buzzing, or vibration noise from the back of the unit, especially when the fan motor is running.

Compatibility This motor damper grommet is compatible with select LG refrigerators, and also fits select Kenmore refrigerators built on the LG platform, including model numbers such as LSXS26386S00, LTCS20030S/00, LTC24380SB00, LRSCS21935SW, LFC24770ST/02, LSXS26326W/01, and Kenmore 795.79043311, 795.51089011, 795.51832412, 795.79412810, and 795.78032211. Note: This is the rear-position grommet. LG also lists a related grommet, part number 5040JA2009B, used as a support damper for fan motors on other models — the two are not necessarily interchangeable, so confirm your exact part number and position before ordering. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Genuine LG OEM part — factory-specified rubber compound and fit Isolates the fan motor from its bracket, cushioning it against vibration Resolves "rattling," "buzzing," and "vibration noise" symptoms caused by a worn or failed grommet Rear-position grommet Durable rubber construction designed for the refrigerator's cold operating environment Direct drop-in replacement — no tools required on most models Replaces 5040JA2004B, 1268010, AP4635690, AH3526229, EA3526229, PS3526229, EAP3526229, and PD00027884 Compatible with LG and select Kenmore refrigerators Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Product Specifications Part Number 5040JA2004A Part Type Fan Motor Damper Grommet — Rear Condition Genuine OEM Brand LG Material Rubber Function Isolates and cushions a fan motor from vibration at its bracket Position Rear Related Part 5040JA2009B (support damper, different position/models — verify before substituting) Repair Difficulty Very Easy — typically no tools required Quantity 1 damper grommet Compatible Brands LG, Kenmore Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler if access requires opening the freezer compartment. Wear work gloves. Access depends on your model — this grommet supports a fan motor that may be located behind the freezer's rear interior panel or in the compressor/machine compartment at the back or bottom of the unit, so check your model's service diagram for the exact location. Remove any panel screws needed to reach the motor bracket. Photograph the grommet's position and how it seats against the bracket before removing it. Gently remove the old, worn grommet from around the motor mounting post — it typically pulls or presses off without tools. Press the new 5040JA2004A grommet into the same position, seating it fully so it cushions the motor bracket evenly. Reassemble any panels removed for access, restore power, and run the refrigerator for a while to confirm the rattling or vibration noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (for panel access), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My refrigerator has developed a rattling noise from the back. Is this the grommet? Yes, this is a common cause of exactly that symptom. Once the rubber grommet cracks, hardens, or loses its cushioning shape, the fan motor's mounting bracket is no longer properly isolated and can vibrate directly against the surrounding housing, producing a rattling or buzzing noise — especially noticeable whenever the fan motor is actively running. Is this for the evaporator fan motor or the condenser fan motor? Sources describe this grommet's application somewhat differently depending on the specific refrigerator model — some reference it as supporting the evaporator fan motor, others the condenser fan motor. In practice, this reflects that LG uses the same grommet design for fan motor mounting in more than one location depending on the model. Confirm your full model number against the compatibility list, or check your appliance's parts diagram, to be certain which motor this grommet supports on your specific unit. Do I need any tools to replace this? The grommet itself is tool-free — it simply presses into place around the motor mounting post. You will likely need a screwdriver to remove whatever panel is covering the area where the motor and grommet are located, but the grommet swap itself requires no tools. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original rubber compound and mounting fit of the motor damper grommet originally installed in your refrigerator.

5040JA2009B Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Motor Damper Grommet (Front) The 5040JA2009B is a genuine LG OEM front evaporator motor grommet for LG and select Kenmore refrigerators, and also fits select freezers. This rubber grommet cushions and secures the front side of the evaporator fan motor's mount, reducing vibration and noise as the motor runs. It's the front-position counterpart to our 5040JA2004A rear grommet — LG mounts this evaporator fan motor from both the front and rear with matching grommets working together. Made of rubber, this grommet naturally degrades from prolonged use, exposure to the freezer's cold temperatures, or physical damage from an accidental impact during cleaning or organizing. Once it fails, the evaporator motor loses proper cushioning and can shift slightly out of alignment. Symptoms of a bad grommet include increased noise and vibration, particularly noticeable when the evaporator fan motor is running, along with a rattling or buzzing sound coming from the freezer area. It directly replaces AP4443769, 1268013, AH3526237, EA3526237, PS3526237, and 5040JQ2003B.

Note — front grommet, not rear: This is the front-position evaporator motor grommet. The matching rear-position grommet for the same motor is a separate part, our 5040JA2004A listing. Both are typically checked and often replaced together, since they support the same motor and are usually the same age. Always verify your full model number before ordering.

Wear work gloves. Access to the evaporator motor on many models requires going in through the freezer: empty the top half of the freezer, remove the side rails holding the ice bin, then remove the outer screws holding the ice auger assembly — on many models this means only the two outer screws on each side, not the middle ones. With the ice maker components clear, remove the rear panel to access the evaporator fan motor and its front and rear grommets. Photograph the wiring connections carefully before disconnecting anything, since several wires can look interchangeable but are not, and reconnecting one in reverse can cause a malfunction. Remove the old front grommet from the motor mount — it typically pulls free without tools. Press the new 5040JA2009B grommet into the same position, seating it fully. If the rear grommet is also worn, this is a good time to replace it as well since you already have access. Reassemble the ice maker components, rear panel, and any other parts removed for access, restore power, and run the refrigerator for a while to confirm the noise or vibration has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Should I replace the rear grommet at the same time as this front one? It's worth considering. Both grommets support the same evaporator fan motor from opposite sides and are typically the same age, so if one has degraded, the other is often not far behind. Since accessing the motor for this repair already requires a fair amount of teardown, replacing both together — our 5040JA2004A rear grommet and this front one — saves you from repeating the same access work again soon after. Why do I need to go through the ice maker to reach this part? On many LG refrigerator models, the evaporator fan motor and its grommets sit behind the freezer's ice maker assembly, so reaching them requires removing the ice bin, its side rails, and the auger mechanism first. This is a more involved access path than some other freezer repairs, so budget extra time and take photos as you go to keep track of how everything reassembles. Why is it so important to photograph the wiring before disconnecting? Several of the wires in this area can look similar and are easy to connect in reverse or in the wrong position, which can cause a malfunction after reassembly. Taking clear photos of each connection before you disconnect anything is a simple step that prevents a frustrating troubleshooting session later. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original rubber compound and mounting fit of the front evaporator motor grommet originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO WR51X10055 Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly The XPARTCO WR51X10055 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator defrost heater and bracket assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Haier, Americana, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. The defrost heater is a glass quartz tube heater mounted on a bracket below the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment. During each automatic defrost cycle, the heater energizes and melts any frost that has accumulated on the evaporator coils — maintaining unobstructed airflow through the coils so the refrigerator can cool efficiently. When the heater fails, frost accumulates on the coils unchecked, blocking airflow and causing both the freezer and fresh food sections to gradually warm up. Rated at 120V, 725W, this single quartz tube heater assembly measures 12-1/8" L x 3-3/8" W x 2-1/8" H and includes the heater element and mounting bracket. It directly replaces WR51X10030, AP3183311, 914088, AH303781, EA303781, PS303781, SH323, and EAP303781. Often replaced together with the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) for a complete defrost system repair. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WR51X10055 Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly fixes GE and Hotpoint refrigerators where frost is building up on the evaporator coils, the freezer is too warm, the fresh food section is warming up, or the refrigerator is running continuously without cooling properly.

Remove all food and shelving from the freezer compartment. Remove the freezer bottom drawer and the back panel screws (typically 2 hex-head screws). Slide out the back panel to expose the evaporator coils and defrost heater assembly. If the coils are covered in frost or ice, use a hair dryer to melt the ice before removing the heater — do not chip or force the heater free while iced over, as the glass element is fragile and will break. Disconnect the heater wires from the wiring harness — note the orientation before disconnecting. Remove the 2 Phillips screws securing the heater bracket and lift the heater assembly out. Install the new WR51X10055 heater assembly in the same position, reconnect the wires, and reinstall the bracket screws. Reinstall the back panel, shelving, and food. Restore power and verify the defrost cycle operates normally. Wear work gloves throughout — the evaporator area has sharp edges. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, hair dryer (if coils are iced over), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What does the refrigerator defrost heater do? Modern refrigerators use an automatic defrost system that periodically runs a defrost cycle — typically once or twice a day — to melt frost that accumulates on the evaporator coils during normal operation. The defrost heater is a glass quartz heating element that energizes during this cycle and melts the frost off the coils. This keeps the coils clear so air can flow freely through them to cool the refrigerator. When the heater fails, frost builds up unchecked on the coils over days or weeks — eventually blocking airflow completely and causing both compartments to warm up, even though the compressor is still running. How do I know if my defrost heater has failed? Remove the freezer back panel to expose the evaporator coils. If the coils are heavily coated in frost or solid ice — especially if both the freezer and refrigerator sections have been warming up — a failed defrost heater is the most likely cause. You can confirm with a multimeter: disconnect the heater and probe both wire ends. A working heater shows continuity (resistance between approximately 10–200 ohms at room temperature depending on wattage). No continuity confirms the heater element has burned out. Also visually inspect the glass tube — a burned, blackened, or broken tube is a clear sign of failure. Should I also replace the defrost thermostat and temperature sensor? Yes — since the freezer must be fully emptied and the back panel removed to replace the heater, it is highly recommended to also replace the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) at the same time. All three components form the defrost system and wear at similar rates. A failed thermostat or sensor can cause the heater to run too long or not at all — replacing all three in a single repair eliminates that risk and saves you from another complete freezer teardown in the near future. My freezer is warming up but the compressor is running — is it the defrost heater? It often is — but not always. A compressor that is running but not cooling can be caused by a failed defrost heater (frost blocking airflow), a faulty evaporator fan motor (air not circulating), a defrost thermostat or timer failure, or a sealed system problem (refrigerant leak or compressor issue). The easiest way to distinguish a defrost system failure from other causes is to open the freezer and check whether frost has built up on the back panel or coils. If yes, the defrost heater is the most likely culprit. If the coils are clear and the compressor is running, look at the evaporator fan or sealed system next. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured as a single quartz tube glass heater rated at 120V/725W to match the dimensions and performance of the original WR51X10055 defrost heater assembly.

XPARTCO W10316760 Refrigerator Thermistor Sensor The XPARTCO W10316760 is an aftermarket replacement temperature thermistor compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-built refrigerators sold under the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef brands. The thermistor sits inside the fresh food or freezer compartment and continuously reports internal temperature back to the electronic control board, which uses that reading to cycle the compressor, evaporator fan, and damper to keep the compartment in range. When the thermistor drifts out of calibration or fails outright, the control board loses an accurate temperature signal and the refrigerator commonly responds with erratic cooling, a warmer-than-normal compartment, food freezing when it shouldn't, or a flashing/blank temperature display. This XPARTCO version is built with a quick-connect mounting clip, so it plugs in without cutting or splicing wires — unlike the genuine Whirlpool OEM part, which ships as a splice-in kit requiring you to cut the old thermistor's leads and join the new ones with included wire connectors. It directly replaces W10316760, WPW10323459, W10323459, 12791417, 12791417SP, 12791419SP, 1876627, W10280385, W10280386, W10308052, W10316760VP, W10438639, W10438761, W10452402, AH2580944, AP4538142, AWP40532, EA2580944, EAP2580944, PD00006590, PS2580944, and additional cross-reference numbers listed below. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO W10316760 Refrigerator Thermistor Sensor fixes Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef refrigerators that are running warm, running constantly, freezing food unexpectedly, or showing a flashing/blank temperature display.

Restore power and allow the refrigerator several hours to stabilize before checking temperatures. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver (for panel access), needle-nose pliers (for mounting clip). Frequently Asked Questions Is this the same as the genuine Whirlpool W10316760 thermistor? It's a direct-fit aftermarket equivalent, not the genuine Whirlpool part. The key functional difference is installation: the genuine OEM version ships as a splice-in kit requiring you to cut the old wires and use included splice connectors, while this XPARTCO version has a quick-connect clip that simply plugs in — no splicing tools needed. Will this fit my refrigerator? W10316760 and its cross-reference numbers span a wide range of Whirlpool-built models across several brands. Confirm fit using your refrigerator's exact model number before ordering, since visually similar thermistors are used across different platforms and compartment locations. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. My fridge is warm but the freezer is fine (or vice versa) — could this part be the cause? Yes. Most of these refrigerators use separate thermistors for the fresh food and freezer compartments, so a single failed sensor can cause one section to run warm while the other stays normal. Confirm which sensor location your model uses before ordering. Do I need any tools to install this? Basic hand tools to access the interior panel (typically a nut driver or screwdriver) plus needle-nose pliers to release the old mounting clip. Because this version uses a plug-style connector, no wire strippers, cutters, or splice connectors are needed — unlike the genuine OEM splice-kit version. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical resistance curve, mounting position, and temperature-sensing function of the original W10316760 thermistor used in compatible Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef refrigerators.
