Refrigerator Repair FAQs

How do I find my refrigerator model number?

Your model number is usually on a sticker inside the refrigerator — check the top wall of the fridge compartment, the side wall, or the back wall near the top. On side-by-side models, it's often on the left wall. On French-door models, check inside the upper left drawer. Once you have the model number, enter it in Repair Clinic's parts lookup tool to see every part available for your exact refrigerator, along with symptoms and repair guides.

Why is my refrigerator not making ice?

The ice maker assembly is the #1 cause — it controls water flow, freezing, and ice ejection. Water inlet valves fail second most often, especially on and models. Always check that the water line is connected and not frozen. If the water line is fine, an OEM ice maker kit or water inlet valve replacement will restore ice production in most cases.

What's the difference between an OEM ice maker and an aftermarket one?

OEM ice maker kits are built to your refrigerator's exact specifications — valve pressure, module timing, tray size, and motor speed all match. Aftermarket ice makers have high failure rates because they don't account for these variables. And refrigerators especially benefit from OEM ice maker kits, which come ready to install with all necessary parts.

How do I know if my start relay is bad?

Shake the start relay — if it rattles, it's failed. A compressor that clicks repeatedly or won't start, or a refrigerator that stays warm even with the thermostat turned up, often points to a bad start relay before a bad compressor. A $15 to $25 OEM start relay replacement can save you from a $300+ compressor repair.

Filter Refrigerator Parts by Your Model Number

You may need to remove food or slide out a drawer to read the full string, including letters, numbers, and any suffix. Enter that complete model number in the search bar to filter the entire refrigerator parts catalog to parts that fit your unit. This lookup applies across every associated part, from shelves and door bins to gaskets, controls, and ice makers, so you are not matching parts by appearance alone. It is the quickest way to be sure the part fits before you order.
