W10837274 Whirlpool Plate

Whirlpool Corporation's range of brands includes Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brand names. One such component is the Ice Chute Plate, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for use in Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators that are equipped with an internal automatic icemaker. This plate serves as the mounting point and foundation for the ice chute assembly.

Various factors can lead to the malfunctioning of an ice chute plate. Common issues include cracks or deformities that prevent a proper seal, worn-out mounting holes that affect the plate's stability, or obstructions that disrupt the flow of ice through the chute assembly.

When an ice chute plate is not functioning correctly, several signs may become evident:
- The refrigerator may fail to dispense ice or do so intermittently.
- Ice might scatter or accumulate outside the dispenser bucket.
- The icemaking process could generate unusual noise or vibrations.
- Moisture or water leaks may appear near the icemaker area.

This ice chute plate is also compatible with refrigerators from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
