W11185686 Whirlpool Ice Container Assembly

The Ice Container Assembly is a genuine OEM part designed for use in various Whirlpool refrigerators, including brands like Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. This assembly serves as a storage bin for ice produced by the refrigerator’s ice maker, facilitating the smooth transfer of ice cubes through the dispenser chute.

Issues with the ice container assembly typically arise from physical damage such as cracks or broken parts, which can hinder its performance. Regular usage often leads to wear and tear, affecting the assembly's capacity to hold and preserve ice efficiently.

Signs of a malfunctioning ice container assembly include:
- Misplacement of ice cubes, leading to accumulation outside the intended area.
- Challenges in extracting ice cubes from the container.
- Cracks or gaps that reduce insulation efficiency, resulting in ice melting sooner than expected.

This replacement part is also suitable for certain models from Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Maytag, ensuring broad compatibility across different appliances.
