Refrigerator Parts

Refrigerator repairs usually come down to a handful of usual suspects: an ice maker that's stopped producing, a compressor that won't kick on, a door seal that's let go, or a water filter housing that's cracked. We stock replacement parts for all of these — ice maker assemblies, water inlet valves, compressor start relays, door gaskets, evaporator fans, and defrost thermostats — for full-size, counter-depth, French door, side-by-side, and top-and-bottom freezer models.

Diagnosing the Problem Before You Order

If your fridge is warm but the compressor is humming, the problem is often the start relay or the condenser fan, not the compressor itself. Swapping the compressor is rarely the fix, and it's the most expensive part in the unit, so it's worth ruling out the cheaper components first. If ice is jamming or not forming at all, the auger motor and the ice maker assembly are the two parts that fail most often, usually well before the compressor does. A refrigerator that cycles on and off more frequently than usual, or runs constantly without reaching temperature, often points to a failing condenser fan motor or a dirty condenser coil rather than a refrigerant issue.

Matching Parts to Your Model

Use your model number to filter down to parts confirmed for your exact refrigerator. The same part number often fits multiple models across a brand's lineup, but not always, and the wrong ice maker assembly is one of the most common return reasons we see. Your model number is usually printed on a sticker inside the fridge, along the door frame or under the crisper drawers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my ice maker fill with water but never actually make ice?

A: This usually points to the ice maker's internal thermostat rather than the water valve — if the unit is filling correctly but the water never freezes, the thermostat isn't signaling the mold to release, or the ice maker's motor module has failed.

Q: Can I replace a refrigerator compressor myself?

A: Compressor replacement involves handling refrigerant lines, which requires EPA certification in the U.S. It's one of the few repairs on this list we'd recommend leaving to a licensed technician, even though the part itself is something we stock.
