W11629923 Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Bucket Coupler

Refrigerator Ice Bucket Coupler

Whirlpool manufactures various brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper. They also produce products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Ice Bucket Coupler is an OEM part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. It connects the ice bucket to the auger motor, enabling the motor to turn the auger and dispense ice through the chute. This part is essential for the ice dispensing system to work correctly, ensuring the motor's motion is effectively transferred to the auger.

Signs of a faulty Ice Bucket Coupler include:

- The ice dispenser fails to dispense ice or does so inconsistently
- The auger does not rotate when the dispenser lever is pressed
- Unusual noises, like grinding or clicking, from the ice bucket area
- Visible wear, cracks, or damage to the coupling

Common causes for a defective ice bucket coupling include regular wear and tear, physical damage from ice jams or blockages, and material degradation over time.

This OEM part is also suitable for certain models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
