Brand-Specific Tips for Finding Fridge Parts

Every brand has its quirks — different model number formats, known problem parts, and search tricks that save you time. Find your brand below.

Whirlpool GE / GE Profile Samsung LG Frigidaire Maytag

Whirlpool

Model Number Format

Letters + numbers, typically 10–12 characters

Examples: WRS325SDHZ, WRF535SWHZ, WRX735SDHZ

Inside the left door frame, upper half — look for a white sticker with a barcode.

Most Commonly Replaced Parts

Ice maker

The W10190961 ice maker assembly is one of the most-replaced Whirlpool parts. If your ice maker stopped working entirely, this is usually the fix.

Water filter

Whirlpool uses the EveryDrop filter line. Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1) fits most side-by-side models; Filter 4 (EDR4RXD1) fits most French door models.

Door gasket

Whirlpool gaskets are model-specific. Search your full model number — even small variations (like "02" vs "03" suffix) can mean a different gasket.

Amazon Search Tips

Search the full model number — Whirlpool has many sub-variants
For water filters, search "EveryDrop [filter number]" for the easiest results
Whirlpool owns Maytag and KitchenAid — parts often cross-compatible
Add "OEM" to find genuine Whirlpool parts; drop it for aftermarket alternatives

Watch Out For

Whirlpool model numbers often have a suffix (e.g., "02") indicating a production run — some parts differ between runs
Avoid listings that say "fits most Whirlpool models" without a specific compatibility list

Pro tip: Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and JennAir are all made by the same parent company (Whirlpool Corp). If you can't find a part for your Maytag, try searching the equivalent Whirlpool model — the parts are often identical.

GE / GE Profile

Model Number Format

Letters + numbers, typically starts with a letter (e.g., G, P)

Examples: GSS25GSHSS, GFE28GYNFS, PFE28KYNFS

Inside the fresh food door on the left side, or on the back wall of the fresh food compartment.

Most Commonly Replaced Parts

Ice maker

GE ice makers are notorious for failing. The WR30X10093 and WR30X30972 are among the most commonly replaced. Check the model number carefully — GE has many ice maker variants.

Water filter

GE uses RPWFE (with chip) and XWFE filters for newer models, and MWF/MWFP for older ones. The chip-based RPWFE won't work if you use a non-chipped aftermarket filter in a newer GE.

Defrost thermostat

If your GE fridge is freezing food or not cooling evenly, the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) is a common culprit.

Amazon Search Tips

GE Profile models start with "P" — make sure you're searching the right line
For water filters, confirm whether your model uses RPWFE (with chip) or MWF
Search "GE [model number] [part name]" — the brand name helps narrow results
GE Appliances is now owned by Haier, but parts are still widely available

Watch Out For

Newer GE models (post-2016) use RPWFE filters with an RFID chip — aftermarket filters may not work unless they include the chip
GE Profile and standard GE often share parts, but not always — verify with your exact model number

Pro tip: GE's water filter situation is unique: if your fridge has a filter status light that won't reset with an aftermarket filter, your model likely requires the chipped RPWFE. Search "RPWFE compatible" to find aftermarket options that include the chip.

Samsung

Model Number Format

Letters + numbers, often starts with "RF" (French door) or "RS" (side-by-side)

Examples: RF28R7351SR, RS25J500DSR, RF23M8070SR

Inside the left door frame, or on the back wall of the fresh food section on some models.

Most Commonly Replaced Parts

Ice maker

Samsung ice makers — especially on French door models — are among the most commonly replaced in the industry. The RF28 series ice maker (DA97-15217D) is a frequent replacement. Samsung released an "ice maker fix kit" for some models.

Water filter

Samsung uses HAF-CIN/EXP (DA29-00020B) for most French door models and HAF-QIN for some newer ones. Aftermarket options are widely available and work well.

Door handle

Samsung door handles crack or break more often than other brands. Search "[model number] door handle" — they're usually easy to replace with a screwdriver.

Amazon Search Tips

Samsung model numbers are long — copy the full number from the label
For ice makers, search "Samsung [model number] ice maker assembly" — avoid just "ice maker module"
Samsung parts are widely available from third-party sellers at significant savings
Check the Q&A section on Amazon listings — Samsung compatibility questions are common

Watch Out For

Samsung has had well-documented ice maker issues on certain French door models — check if your model has a recall or service bulletin before buying parts
Some Samsung ice maker listings are for the "module" only, not the full assembly — make sure you're buying the right thing

Pro tip: If you have a Samsung French door fridge with ice maker problems, search for "[your model] ice maker fix kit" — Samsung released updated ice maker assemblies for several affected models that address the root cause, not just replace the same failing part.

LG

Model Number Format

Letters + numbers, often starts with "LR" or "LF"

Examples: LRMVS3006S, LFXS26973S, LRFXS2503S

Inside the left door frame near the top, or on the back wall of the fresh food compartment.

Most Commonly Replaced Parts

Compressor / linear compressor

LG linear compressors have had well-documented failure issues on models from 2014–2019. If your LG fridge stopped cooling entirely, check if your model is covered under LG's extended warranty or class action settlement before buying parts.

Ice maker

LG ice makers (especially on French door models) frequently develop ice buildup issues. The AEQ73110224 and similar assemblies are commonly replaced.

Water filter

LG uses LT1000P (ADQ747935) for most newer models and LT700P for older ones. Both have widely available aftermarket options.

Amazon Search Tips

LG model numbers are long — use the full number for best results
Search "LG [model number] ice maker" and check the Q&A for your specific model
LG water filters: search "LT1000P compatible" or "LT700P compatible" for aftermarket options
For compressor issues, search your model number + "compressor" to see if a class action or recall applies

Watch Out For

LG linear compressor failures (2014–2019 models) may be covered under an extended warranty or settlement — check LG's website before spending money on parts
LG ice maker issues are often caused by a freezing problem in the ice maker compartment, not the ice maker itself — a $15 foam tape kit sometimes fixes it

Pro tip: Before replacing an LG ice maker, search "[your model number] ice maker foam fix" — many LG ice maker failures are caused by cold air leaking into the ice maker compartment, and a simple foam insulation kit (under $20) fixes the root cause without replacing the whole assembly.

Frigidaire

Also covers Electrolux (same parent company)

Model Number Format

Letters + numbers, often starts with "FRT", "FFSS", or "FGHB"

Examples: FFSS2615TS, FGHB2868TF, FRTD2021AS

Inside the door frame or on the back wall of the fresh food section.

Most Commonly Replaced Parts

Ice maker

Frigidaire ice makers (241798224, 241798231) are among the most affordable to replace. The ice maker assembly is a straightforward swap on most models.

Water filter

Frigidaire uses the WF3CB (PureSource3) and ULTRAWF (PureSource Ultra) filters. Both have excellent aftermarket availability at low prices.

Crisper drawer

Frigidaire crisper drawers crack easily. Search "[model number] crisper drawer" — they're inexpensive and easy to swap.

Amazon Search Tips

Frigidaire and Electrolux share many parts — if you can't find a Frigidaire part, try searching the Electrolux equivalent
Search "WF3CB compatible" or "ULTRAWF compatible" for water filter alternatives
Frigidaire parts tend to be among the most affordable — OEM parts are often reasonably priced
Add "Frigidaire" to your search to avoid cross-brand confusion

Watch Out For

Frigidaire has two main water filter lines (WF3CB and ULTRAWF) — confirm which one your model uses before ordering
Some Frigidaire models share part numbers with Electrolux — this is fine, they're the same part

Pro tip: Frigidaire is owned by Electrolux, and the two brands share many parts. If a Frigidaire part is out of stock or expensive, search the same part number with "Electrolux" — you'll often find the identical part at a different price point.

Maytag

Owned by Whirlpool — many parts are cross-compatible

Model Number Format

Letters + numbers, similar to Whirlpool format

Examples: MFI2570FEZ, MFF2558FEZ, MBF1958FEZ

Inside the left door frame, same location as Whirlpool models.

Most Commonly Replaced Parts

Ice maker

Maytag ice makers are often identical to Whirlpool units. If you can't find a Maytag-specific listing, search the Whirlpool equivalent.

Water filter

Maytag uses the same EveryDrop filter line as Whirlpool. Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1) and Filter 4 (EDR4RXD1) cover most models.

Door gasket

Maytag gaskets are model-specific but often share part numbers with Whirlpool. Search your full model number first.

Amazon Search Tips

If you can't find a Maytag part, search the Whirlpool equivalent — they're often identical
Use the same EveryDrop filter search as Whirlpool
Maytag parts are widely available and generally affordable

Watch Out For

Not all Whirlpool parts fit Maytag — always verify with your specific model number

Pro tip: Maytag and Whirlpool are the same company. When searching Amazon, try both brand names if one returns limited results — you'll often find the same part listed under both.
