Whirlpool Flipper WP2198633 OEM Part

Whirlpool offers a diverse selection of products under various brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and also provides manufacturing support for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. One essential component they produce is the Emitter Cover, a genuine OEM part designed specifically for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role by securely housing the temperature sensor within the refrigerated compartment, allowing for precise temperature monitoring. Accurate sensing of temperature is essential for maintaining the ideal conditions for freshness and food safety.

If an emitter cover is compromised, it can hinder the appliance's ability to regulate or maintain a stable internal temperature. Such issues may lead to uneven cooling, early food degradation, or erratic temperature shifts. Moreover, inaccurate temperature readings can cause the refrigerator's compressor or fan to operate excessively, thereby raising energy consumption.

Typical problems with the emitter cover can include cracks or gaps that impede its function in correctly positioning and safeguarding the temperature sensor. Additionally, extended use may lead to wear that could contribute to these issues.

This original equipment manufacturer part is compatible with a broad range of refrigerators, including those from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
