Refrigerator Seal
★★★★★
★★★★★
(5)
Part #WP2198628
This part is a replacement refrigerator drive shaft seal for your refrigerator. The drive shaft seal protects the auger motor from water and condensation that may leak down the drive shaft from the ice bucket. If the seal is broken, water and condensation can get in, causing the ice maker to fail. To replace the seal, first remove the ice bucket from your freezer. Then remove the two screws on the drive shaft holder, and use a pair of pliers to remove the drive shaft. At this point you can remove the seal from the drive shaft. Be sure to clean the area that the seal sits in before you reinstall the drive shaft. This part is white in color and is about an inch in diameter. The seal is sold individually.

Ice Container
★★★★★
★★★★★
(48)
Part #WPW10347093
This ice container is the part of your freezer where freshly made ice is collected and stored, making it easy to grab cubes or crushed ice whenever you need it. It features a sturdy white base connected to a clear plastic bin, so you can see how much ice you have at a glance. Inside, there’s a metal rod called an auger that helps move the ice toward the dispenser. The container keeps ice neatly contained, preventing it from scattering around the freezer. If you’re dealing with leaks, trouble dispensing ice, or clumps of ice forming into large chunks, it’s probably time for a replacement. Swapping it out is simple—just remove the old bin and slide the new one into place. Be sure to check your refrigerator’s manual to make sure it’s the right fit.

Appliance spray paint is a great way to cover up any chips and scratches that have appeared on your appliances. Instead of replacing the part entirely, this is an easy fix. This is also a great way to give a fresh new look to any handles or areas that have discoloring due to wear. Make sure to clean the area before you begin and wear a protective mask for safety. Give the can a good shake and spray a few inches away from the surface. Apply the paint until the area is fully covered as desired. Wait until the paint has dried before using the appliance.

The ice maker side door switch has gone out twice. This second time, we have found that the compartment that the switch fits into is wet and has water in it. The switch and connector is corroded. Suggestions?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Anne, thank you for getting in touch. You may need to replace the door switch, part number PS12728638, and the door closer, part number PS11766739. We have concluded that the issue you described is due to the following parts: the seal, part number PS11752142, and the ice maker, part number PS16730670. We hope this information helps!

Refrigerator shuts off every 3 to 4 days. it does NOT trip the breaker. I have to go to the garage and turn the breaker off and wait a few minutes and the refrigerator starts back up. its done this approx. 12 time in the last 2 months. I was told it was a sensor that was in the pull-out draw, but I cant find the part on your website
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi John, thank you for the question. Based on the description you have provided, the issue is not with the sensor. It could be with the main control board, part number PS11730991. It manages the functions of the refrigerator such as cooling and defrost times. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Need additional advice. I've replaced and tested all lights for interior of refrigerator and freezer (with exception of 3 on wiring harness on water filter housing). All lights are dimly lit for the top of refrigerator and freezer. Side lights are working normal. Replaced the LED control board. Replaced the main control board. What else could it be?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi David, thank you for the question. We would suggest checking all the wire harnesses and their connections. You may need to reinstall them to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

I used a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light rocker switch. Then, I unplugged the wires, plugged them into the new light rocker switch, and then popped the new switch into the hole. That's it! Lights began working again.

Purchased new motor from Partselect.com. When it arrived it came with a new rubber washer that fitted on top of new motor that was not on old motor, that how water got into old motor. However, the instruction sheet did not give info on how to access the proper way to the motor that is the door. Not wanting to damage the freezer door assy. called in a tech who made it look easy, but even he had a little problem locating access panel that was directly under the motor in the freezer side of the door. After that it was a piece of cake.

I used a flat screwdriver and released the lock tab on the bottom of the light switch, and pried the switch out, being careful to not damage the plastic around the mounting place of the switch, unplugged wiring from old switch, plugged in the new one and pushed the new switch into place. Job finished light switch now working.
