W10913953 / W10006384 (Black) — What These OEM Parts Are and How to Replace Them

Understanding the Problem

Brief explanation: You supplied two OEM-style part numbers (W10913953 and W10006384) with color “black.” Without the appliance make/model or a photo these numbers can refer to different trim, panel, dispenser or control components on Whirlpool/Maytag/related appliances. The steps below show how to identify which part you actually need, how to diagnose whether it’s the faulty item, and general replacement procedures for the most common black plastic trim/panel/dispenser parts. Step-by-step diagnostic & repair instructions: 1) Locate appliance model number: Find the appliance model & serial sticker (usually inside the door, on the frame, on the door jamb, behind a kickplate or on the back). Record model number — this is required to confirm fit. 2) Inspect and photograph the damaged/defective area: Take clear pictures of the part installed and of any damaged mounting tabs, clips, fasteners, connectors, and labels. Note the part’s location (front lower kickplate, console overlay, dispenser door, control bezel, etc.). 3) Cross-reference parts diagram: Go to the manufacturer parts page (Whirlpool/Maytag/Amana/…parts lookup) or a reputable parts seller and enter your appliance model to pull the exploded parts diagram and match the OEM number to the exact component and color option. 4) Confirm the function: Identify whether the part is purely cosmetic (trim, bezel, drawer front) or functional (dispenser door, switch, control overlay). Cosmetic parts generally cause no operational faults but affect fit/appearance; functional parts can cause operation issues (leaks, dispenser failure, controls not responding). 5) Check for common failure signs: For plastic trim or bezels — cracks, broken tabs, missing clips, loose fit. For dispenser or door parts — door not closing, ice/water dispensing issues, moisture leaks. For parts with switches or sensors — failing buttons, error codes, intermittent operation. 6) Order the correct part: Using the exact appliance model and the part number shown in the parts diagram (and color: black), order the OEM part to ensure clip and screw hole alignment. 7) Replacement — general steps for trim, bezel or dispenser parts (modify according to the exact part): a) Safety first: Unplug the appliance or switch off breaker; if working on a water dispenser, turn off the water supply and unplug. b) Remove obstructing panels: Open door/drawer and remove screws or clips that retain the outer panel. Keep screws and small parts in a container and photograph removal order if helpful. c) Release clips gently: Use a trim tool or flat screwdriver wrapped in tape to pry broken/bezel pieces off without scratching surrounding surfaces. Work slowly to avoid breaking additional tabs. d) Disconnect any electrical connectors: If the part contains switches or lights, depress the connector tabs and disconnect before fully removing the part. Note connector orientation. e) Transfer hardware if required: Some replacement parts require transfer of brackets, springs or gaskets from the old part; move these to the new part. f) Install new part: Align clips and screw holes, press firmly until clips engage and reinstall screws. Reconnect electrical connectors if present. g) Test operation: Restore power and water (if applicable) and test the component (door closing, dispenser operation, buttons) and check for leaks or looseness. 8) If the part is electrical or a control module: Follow model-specific instructions. Typically this requires removing the console or back panel, disconnecting wire harnesses, swapping the module, and ensuring correct grounding. If you’re not comfortable with electrical replacements, hire a tech. Safety note: Always disconnect power before removing panels or touching electrical connectors. If the part involves the water line or ice/water dispenser, shut off the water supply first and have towels ready. If the replacement requires soldering, splicing or control board troubleshooting, consider a qualified technician.

Common Symptoms

Cracked or loose trim/bezels, dispenser door failing to close, water/ice dispenser malfunction, loose control overlay, missing or snapped mounting tabs, buttons that don’t engage or intermittent operation when a switch is involved.

Common Causes

• Physical impact or normal wear that cracks plastic tabs and bezels
• Broken or worn clips/screws causing loose or misaligned parts
• Electrical failure or faulty switches if the part contains controls or sensors
