The Refrigerator Auger Motor is an essential component in many Whirlpool products, including brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also manufactures parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This motor is an OEM replacement part that enables the ice maker to dispense ice.
