Sharp 5-door refrigerator broke? The most frequently ordered spare parts and how to replace them yourself
Updated: June 2026
In short: Sharp 5-door refrigerators (series SJ9630 to SJ9734) suffer mainly from plastic parts that break: the vegetable drawer lids, the door storage compartments, and the ice container. All of these parts can be replaced by yourself without tools, and can be purchased directly from Merom - Sharp's official service provider in Israel. The cooling system itself, on the other hand, is usually covered by a 10-year manufacturer's warranty on the compressor and does not require the purchase of parts.
Why does a 5-door Sharp refrigerator break more plastic parts than a 4-door refrigerator?
Two things set the Sharp 5-door refrigerator apart in terms of maintenance: it has more moving plastic parts, and it has a built-in ice maker. Every extra door means extra storage compartments, extra rails, and extra lids. As a result, what usually breaks is also the plastic, not the refrigerator.
On the other hand, the cooling system of the 5-door models is very durable. The J-Tech Inverter motor used in these series is built for long-term operation, and Sharp provides a 10-year warranty on the compressor. Therefore, most of the complaints that come to Marom about a 5-door refrigerator are not about cooling, but about a physical part that breaks during daily use.
According to Sharp's maintenance instructions for the SJ9000 series, lubricating the door seals once a year with a mild substance extends the life of the seal and prevents hot air from entering - which forces the cooling motor to work harder and consume more electricity.Source: Sharp Maintenance Instructions, SJ9000 Series
It's important to understand: When a drawer cracks or a storage compartment breaks, it doesn't void the warranty on the cooling system. Additionally, you can continue to use the refrigerator in the meantime - the damage is aesthetic and functional, not safety.
Sharp 5-door refrigerator broke? Before calling a technician, check if it's a plastic part. In 80% of cases - yes, and it can be replaced yourself in minutes.
Which parts are most requested?
After years of servicing Sharp 5-door refrigerators, Merom technicians see the same parts over and over again. Below are the parts that are ordered most frequently, in order of frequency.
Vegetable drawer lid
A transparent glass lid that protects the vegetable compartment - this is the part that breaks the most. Pressure from heavy products placed on top of it or a sharp opening cracks it along the edge. Marom has original lids for all models in the series, which can be replaced by yourself without tools.
Door storage compartments
A 5-door refrigerator has two outer doors with storage compartments. Each compartment carries a daily load of bottles, cans, and containers. After several years of use, the plastic gets tired. The middle compartment in the left door breaks more often than the others - probably because it is located at a convenient hand height, which entails intensive use.
To purchase original storage compartments and drawer lids for all Sharp 5-door models: The spare parts catalog for the Sharp 5-door refrigerator on the Marom website . In the store you will find all the parts with the full SKU number by model.
Ice container
The 5-door models feature a built-in ice maker in the lower freezer compartment. The ice bin is made of durable plastic, but after a few years it may crack. The common cause: Forcibly emptying the bin when the ice freezes the cubes into one block. Marom has an original ice bin (part number 89-07-04898-00) for models SJ9630 to SJ9734.
Door rubbers
A worn rubber seal causes two distinct signs: a continuous beeping sound when the door does not close hermetically, and a significant increase in electricity consumption. After 5 to 7 years of use, the rubber seal loses elasticity. Check it once a year: Run your finger around the entire perimeter and look for hard spots, tears, and places where the rubber seal is not tight to the door.
From the experience of our technicians at Merom, a rubber band that is lubricated once a year with a gentle hand cream often lasts twice as long as one that has not been treated at all. It's a 5-minute job that can save hundreds of shekels.Source: Micha Levy, Senior Technician, Marom Services and Maintenance
Drawer rails
Each drawer has a plastic rail that allows for smooth pull-out. Over time, these rails wear out - especially when the drawer is pulled at an angle. They can be replaced with just a screwdriver.
Common question: Will using a non-Marom part void the warranty on the cooling motor?
Mechanical plastic parts such as door and drawer compartments are not part of the refrigeration system, so replacing them does not void the compressor warranty. However, Marom recommends only original parts, as only they are guaranteed to fit the model perfectly.
| Part | Suitable models | Self-replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Ice container (SKU 89-07-04898-00) | SJ9630, SJ9730 to SJ9734, SJ9831, SJFPR910 | Yes - no tools |
| Left door lower storage compartment (SKU 89-07-04879-00) | SJ9630, SJ9730 to SJ9734, SJ9831, SJFPR910 | Yes - press and release |
| Vegetable drawer cover | By model - Amathu vs. Marom | Yes - no tools |
| Door rubber band | By model - Amathu vs. Marom | Possible, technician recommended |
| Drawer rail | By model - Amathu vs. Marom | Yes - screwdriver only |
What to replace yourself and what to have a technician replace?
The simplest rule: If the part isn't plugged in, you can replace it yourself. This rule sorts out most decisions.
Safe self-replacement
Every non-electrical mechanical part - storage compartments, drawers, lids, rails and ice bin - is self-replaceable. No need to unplug, no need for special tools. It usually comes down to pressing a tab and pulling.
Door rubber: intermediate border
The rubber band can be replaced by yourself, but it requires patience. It must be inserted correctly at all ends so that the seal is complete. A rubber band that is inserted incorrectly will continue to cause a beeping sound. If you are not sure, a Marom technician will do it within minutes and ensure proper operation.
Do not disassemble electrical components: control card, fan motor, heating element or cooling system parts. Manual disassembly may void the warranty and cause irreversible damage. According to the 60335 standard for the safety of household electrical appliances, any work on electrical components requires a qualified technician.
When to call a technician: A refrigerator that doesn't cool, noises from the compressor, errors on the digital display, moisture accumulating on the exterior walls. These are signs that point to the cooling system and not a plastic part.
According to the 60335-2-24 standard for the safety of household refrigerators, replacing internal electrical components in a refrigerator requires a qualified technician.

Common question: Sharp 5-door refrigerator beeping at night - is it the rubber seal or something else?
A beeping sound that occurs mainly at night usually indicates a door that is not closing completely, not necessarily a torn rubber band. First, check that there are no protruding products that prevent closing. Then adjust the legs to a slight backward inclination - this alone solves many cases. Only if the beeping continues after both tests, check the rubber band.
How do you find the right part by model?
A question that comes up again and again: "I have a Sharp 5-door refrigerator, what part do I order?" The answer always starts with the exact model number, not just the series name.
Open the refrigerator and locate the internal rating plate. On 5-door models, it is usually on the inside right side, at eye level.
Write down the full model number - for example: SJ-9731-BL. Pay attention to the suffix (BS, BL, SL, etc.) as there are sometimes differences between color versions.
Enter the spare parts catalog for the Sharp 5-door refrigerator and find your model, or contact us at *2620 to confirm compatibility.
Choose the part with a specific part number. Don't order by image alone - different versions of the same part may look the same but fit different models.
The Sharp 5-door refrigerator comes in different versions: SJ9630, SJ9730, SJ9731, SJ9732, SJ9733, SJ9734, SJ9831 and SJFPR910. Not all parts are the same between models. The SKU number on the internal rating plate is the only reference to the correct part.
