W11292468 Whirlpool Refrigerator Fill Tube

The Refrigerator Fill Tube is a genuine OEM part designed for use with Whirlpool-brand refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers. This component is essential for channeling water into the ice mold tray to facilitate the ice-making process.

Whirlpool's portfolio of brands includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible components for appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brands.

Common issues associated with a malfunctioning fill tube might include:
- The ice maker not filling the molds correctly or producing ice sporadically
- The water dispenser not working or dispensing water at a reduced flow rate
- Visible leaks around the area of the fill tube
- Accumulation of mineral deposits that obstruct the flow of water

Over time, these mineral deposits can accumulate inside the fill tube, leading to blockages. The fill tube may also develop bends or cracks due to the regular impact from ice during the ejection cycle.

The primary causes for fill tube deterioration are often related to normal wear, such as mineral buildup that impedes water flow or the weakening of the plastic material, which can become brittle over time.

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