Refrigerator

Refrigerator parts let you fix a warm fridge, a leak or a dead ice maker without paying for a full service call. Food going soft, water pooling under the crisper or a light that stays dark usually traces back to one part, such as a fan motor, defrost heater or water valve. BlueStars Parts stocks replacement parts for a refrigerator from Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire and Kenmore, matched by part number.

Which Refrigerator Parts Fix Your Problem?

Match the symptom to the part that usually causes it:

• Fridge too warm, freezer cold: a failed evaporator fan motor or iced-over coil stops cold air reaching the fresh food side.
• Frost buildup on the back wall: a bad defrost heater, defrost thermostat or sensor stops the defrost cycle.
• Not making ice or water: a failed water inlet valve or ice maker control is the common cause.
• Water leaking inside or under: a clogged drain, cracked tube or loose drain clip lets meltwater escape.
• Clicking and warm compressor: a worn start relay or overload can stop the compressor from running.
• Light stays off: the LED board or door switch has failed.

Use it to shop whirlpool parts, ge parts or samsung parts and compare the part number on each listing. Kenmore fridges are built by several makers, so the model prefix tells you which brand's refrigerator appliances parts will fit.

Refrigerator Parts FAQ

What are the main parts of refrigerator cooling?

The main parts of refrigerator cooling are the compressor, condenser coils and fan, evaporator coil and fan, defrost system and thermostat or control board. When one fails, the fridge warms up, so checking fans and defrost parts first solves most cooling complaints.

Is a refrigerator part replacement worth it on an older fridge?

Usually yes if the compressor runs and the cabinet is sound. Fan motors, valves and defrost parts are affordable and quick to install, while a failed sealed system is the point where replacement makes more sense.

Can I use spare parts of refrigerator models from another brand?

Only when the part number matches or is listed as a replacement. Many Kenmore, Whirlpool and Maytag fridges share parts, but fit depends on the exact refrigerator replacement part number.
