W11512152 Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly

The Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators, which also fits models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore. Whirlpool produces components for other brands, including Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

This ice maker is engineered to automatically produce ice by using a direct water line to freeze water into cubes, which are then collected in an ice bucket. Over time, issues such as mechanical wear, water line clogs, or faulty heating elements can impair the functionality of the ice maker.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning ice maker include:
- Inability to make ice
- Slow or irregular ice production
- Ice cubes that are misshaped or stuck together
- Unusual noises from the ice maker
- Water leakage near the ice maker

These signs suggest that the ice maker may require maintenance or replacement to ensure it operates efficiently.
