Ice Machine Grid Cutter

Whirlpool's range of brands includes Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Ice Maker Cutter Grid, an essential OEM replacement part, fits various Whirlpool ice machines. This component, which is crucial for producing quarter-inch ice cubes, operates by cutting the ice formed from the water in the machine.

A cutter grid may become less effective due to several reasons such as the dulling of blades caused by mineral deposits or scaling, wear and tear on the plastic from long-term use, or physical damage like cracks or breaks.

When a cutter grid is failing, the following issues may occur:

- Ice cubes may be inconsistently shaped or irregular.
- Cubes may stick or get jammed in the ice mold tray.
- There might be a noticeable decrease in ice production, or the ice maker may malfunction.
- The machine may emit loud grinding or scraping sounds.

This genuine Whirlpool part is compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
