Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly

The Whirlpool refrigerator ice maker assembly is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed to efficiently produce ice cubes. This component is commonly situated in the refrigerator’s freezer section, either mounted on the side wall or connected directly to the ice bin. It includes a motor, a water valve, a mold for shaping the ice, and a control module to regulate the process.

When operational, the ice maker draws water into the mold, freezes the water into ice, and then dispenses the ice cubes into the bin for use. This assembly is compatible with various brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper, as well as with Admiral and select models from Kenmore/Sears and Ikea.

Common issues that this ice maker assembly resolves include:
- Absence of ice production or notable reduction in the amount of ice produced
- Production of small or irregularly shaped ice cubes
- Unusual accumulation of ice or frost near the ice maker
- Water leaks or overflow issues associated with the ice maker

This part is essential for maintaining optimal functionality and efficiency in your refrigerator’s ice-making capabilities.
