W11106270 Whirlpool Compressor Overload in Ice Machines

Compressor Overload in Ice Machines

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The compressor overload, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, is designed for use in Whirlpool ice machines. It is installed on the main control board and functions to safeguard the machine by disconnecting power in the event of excessive current flow.

Indicators of a malfunctioning compressor overload are:

- Decreased ice production or problems during the ice harvesting phase
- Ice accumulation or freezing that leads to machine resets
- Unresponsive electronic controls
- Diagnostic error messages indicating issues with excessive current
- Potential causes include short circuits that harm the overload circuit or wear and tear that permits undesirable current flow.

This replacement compressor overload is compatible with ice machines from not only Whirlpool but also KitchenAid, RCA, Crosley, Amana, and select Kenmore models.
