Refrigerator Spare Parts: How to Identify the Right Part by Model and Brand
Updated: 17.8.2026
In short: A refrigerator spare part always fits your specific model, not just the general brand. Before ordering a door seal, vegetable drawer or water filter due to a malfunction or broken part, first locate the full model number on the sticker inside the refrigerator compartment. Marom Services and Maintenance is the official service company for a variety of electrical brands in Israel, including Sharp, Bloomberg and Haier, and carries original spare parts by model with an exact fit.
If your refrigerator is a Sharp, Bloomberg, or Haier, and a part breaks or cracks, you may have already realized that not every part labeled "brand-specific" is actually the same for your refrigerator. Two refrigerators from the same brand can use completely different parts, due to variations between production runs. For this reason, this guide explains how to identify the correct model, which parts break the most, and when it's best to order a part yourself versus when a technician is better.
Why do refrigerator spare parts depend on the model and not just the brand?
Because manufacturers produce several versions of the same product line. Sometimes they change the dimensions of seals, drawers, and shelves between series. They often do this without changing the marketing name of the model. For example, a Sharp 4-door refrigerator purchased this year and a Sharp 4-door refrigerator purchased two years ago are not necessarily the same. These two refrigerators can need a completely different door seal, even though they look the same from the outside. Therefore, the brand name alone is not enough to order a suitable part. It is important to note that the difference between "top freezer" and "bottom freezer" in the same series also changes the type of parts.
A problem that Marom technicians encounter again and again: A customer orders a part by the commercial name of the model, for example, "Sharp 4-door refrigerator," without the full model number on the sticker. The result is almost always a part that doesn't fit.

The full model number, not the brand name or general description, is what determines whether the part you ordered will actually fit.
Along with this, it's worth knowing that the part number itself also changes in different production iterations. Manufacturers update a part to an improved version and maintain compatibility with older models, but this doesn't always happen. Therefore, the safest way to order correctly is to start with the refrigerator's model number. It's not a good idea to rely on the old part number that appears on a previous invoice, because it may be outdated.
How do you find the model number of the refrigerator?
The model number is printed on a sticker inside the refrigerator compartment, usually on the side wall or near the first shelf. However, on some models the sticker is located elsewhere. It may appear on the wall of the freezer compartment, or in the bottom corner of the food compartment.
First, open the food compartment door and check the left inner wall, near the top shelf.
Second, if you can't find it there, check the wall of the freezer compartment and the bottom corner of the food compartment.
Finally, copy the full model number, including letters and suffixes, not just the numbers.
Common question: What if the model number is not readable at all, is it because the sticker has worn off?
The warranty card or original purchase invoice shows the same number. If you don't have access to either of these, you can contact Merom with a picture of the refrigerator. The number of doors in the picture is enough to begin the identification process based on external characteristics.
Which spare parts break the most in a refrigerator?
In most cases, these are replacement parts that work under daily opening and closing. Door seals, drawers, and shelves are in constant use, and are therefore the first to wear out. In addition, parts related to the water dispenser, such as filters, require periodic replacement even without a visible malfunction. The following table summarizes the most common parts in the three brands that Rom provides official service for.
| Part | Common symptom | Brands with live stock |
|---|---|---|
| Door seal | Ice on the sides, compressor working continuously | Sharp, Bloomberg, Hayer |
| Vegetable drawer | Crack in the corner, broken rail | Sharp, the illustrator |
| מדף זכוכית | Crack or fracture after load | Sharp |
| מסנן מים | Taste or odor in water, warning light | Adapted to a variety of models with a water dispenser |
As the table shows, the door seal is the part common to all three brands, and is therefore the most common to order. On the other hand, the glass shelf breaks mainly in Sharp refrigerators, due to the structure of the shelves in certain series. To make the right choice, it is worth starting from the symptom you actually see, and not from guessing which part "must" be broken.
How much do original refrigerator spare parts cost?
The price depends on the type of part and the exact model, but you can indicate a general range based on the most common parts. A genuine door seal costs around 400 NIS, a vegetable drawer or MyZone drawer ranges from 240 to 330 NIS, and a genuine water filter starts at around 170 NIS. Because the final price always depends on the exact model, it is worth checking the full price only after you identify the correct model, and not relying on a general estimate in advance.
Bloomberg refrigerator door seal not sealing? Here's the solution
The simplest test is the paper test. Insert a sheet of paper between the door and the body of the refrigerator, at several points along the frame, and close the door. If the paper comes off easily, the seal is no longer sealing at that point. For example, with Bloomberg KQD models, this is the most common cause of ice accumulating on the sides of the food compartment.
Micha Eitan, Technical and Import Manager at Merom, recommends: A worn door seal forces the compressor to work continuously and increases electricity consumption. Replacing it with a genuine part is a do-it-yourself operation that takes about fifteen minutes, without tools. The solution is an original door seal for the KQD1361 model.

MyZone drawer in the Haier refrigerator cracked? What's important to know
In 4-door refrigerators, the bottom drawer is often part of the MyZone system. This is a storage area with independent temperature control, separate from the rest of the food compartment. When the drawer is cracked or not closed all the way, cold air leaks out. As a result, the compartment no longer maintains its designated temperature, and the compressor also works harder.
According to Haier's manufacturer's specifications, a properly functioning MyZone drawer keeps leafy greens fresh for up to twice as long as when stored on an open shelf. This is because it maintains a high and uniform humidity level inside the drawer.

You can refer to the page Original lower drawer for the Haier 4-door refrigerator and ensure an exact fit for the model. Additional information about Haier service at the top, including common faults, appears at Haier Official Customer Service.
Broken vegetable drawer in a Sharp refrigerator? What to do
The crisper drawer in a Sharp refrigerator usually cracks in the corner, due to overloading or sudden opening. Before ordering, make sure of the exact model number. The shape of the drawer varies between different Sharp series, even when they look similar. If the refrigerator is still under warranty, it is worth checking eligibility before purchasing independently.
The drawer is sold as a single part, so there is no need to replace the entire drawer mechanism. You can see the page Genuine vegetable drawer for Sharp top-freezer refrigerator . Before ordering, check the compatibility with the model number, so as not to order a part that does not fit in the end. To view all the spare parts available for Sharp refrigerators, see Accessories and spare parts for Sharp refrigerators.
Safety warning
Drawers, shelves, and seals are mechanical parts, and do not require disconnection from the power supply. On the other hand, a completely different part is any component close to the electrical circuit, such as the freezer compartment fan motor. Such a part requires the appliance to be disconnected from the power supply before any treatment. This is stated in the 60335 standard for the safety of household electrical appliances.
In addition to drawers and seals, there are also parts that are relevant to all three brands. For refrigerators with a water dispenser, it is worth checking out the original water filter for the refrigerator and minibar . It is recommended to replace it every few months, to maintain a clean taste of the water.
In addition, for precise model identification and additional information about Sharp, including common faults and Sabbath mode, see Sharp Official Customer Service.
3 checks before ordering refrigerator spare parts
Before you click the order button, it's worth taking a moment to go through three quick checks. They save time and also prevent you from returning a part that doesn't fit.
First, make sure the model number you copied is complete, including letters and suffixes, and not just part of it.
Second, check if the device is still under warranty. If so, it is a good idea to contact your personal area before making an independent purchase.
Finally, compare the symptom you actually saw against the common parts table to make sure you are ordering the correct part and not guessing.
Replace it yourself or call a technician?
Mechanical parts such as seals, drawers, and shelves can be replaced by yourself in minutes, without tools, and without risk. On the other hand, if the problem is related to the cooling circuit, thermostat, or motor, it is an electrical repair. Such a repair requires a qualified technician. In such a case, do not try to disassemble the appliance yourself, even if it seems like a simple part to identify.
A technician's home visit costs 290 NIS for all products that Rom provides service for. However, if the device is still under warranty, the visit is free of charge. Therefore, before ordering a paid technician, it is worth checking your warranty eligibility first. To open a service call or warranty check without waiting on the phone, the personal area is available around the clock. The service through it operates 24 hours a day, all year round.
