Whirlpool Alumilastic Cement WP4317852 OEM Part

Thermal Mastic for Refrigerators and Freezers

This product addresses issues with icemakers that are not producing ice and is compatible with a range of Whirlpool brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also supplies products to Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Often referred to as Alumilastic Cement, this original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part is vital for refrigerator function. It serves as an interface, enabling efficient heat and cold transfer to the thermostat. The cement contains a biodegradable, food-safe compound combined with aluminum particles, which improves the thermal exchange between adjacent appliance surfaces.

It is important to recognize that this adhesive will not disrupt refrigerator operations or cause issues with ice cube formation. For safety, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply before application. Apply the adhesive to the connecting surfaces of internal components and follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper and safe use.
