WP12565502 Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Chute Door Spring

Refrigerator Ice Chute Door Spring.

This component is suitable for use when the refrigerator fails to dispense water. The Ice Chute Door Spring is compatible with various Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator models and also fits appliances from brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it serves Whirlpool-manufactured products sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea names.

The primary function of this OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part is to manage the opening and closing of the freezer's ice chute door. It ensures the door operates smoothly by providing the necessary tension and balance, keeping the chute closed securely when not accessing ice.

Common indicators that the spring may need replacement include:

- Difficulty in opening or closing the door
- The door not remaining closed or reopening unexpectedly
- A lack of smooth, controlled movement when using the chute
- The door moving without user interaction

This replacement part is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
