WP2188242 Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Auger Motor Kit, 120V 60Hz

Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Auger Motor Kit, 120V 60Hz.
This component activates the auger, which rotates to propel ice from the storage bin through the dispenser chute. If your ice maker fails to dispense ice, this kit may be necessary.

The kit is suitable for use with various brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it serves as an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators and is also compatible with Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. The motor ensures reliable and automated ice dispensing by maintaining consistent rotational movement.

Typical malfunctions stem from normal wear, particularly the gradual deterioration of motor windings due to continuous operation. Such wear can hinder proper ice dispensing.

Common signs of issues include:
- Failure to initiate or complete dispensing cycles
- Impaired rotation that blocks ice from moving downward
- Noticeable noises that suggest the motor's performance is declining

This OEM part is also designed to fit Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore refrigerators.
