W11729596 Whirlpool Ice Maker

The Ice Maker, an OEM replacement part, is compatible with various Whirlpool refrigerator models, including those from Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also manufactures products suitable for Sears-Kenmore. This device facilitates automatic ice production by freezing water in built-in trays and then pushing the ice into a designated bin. It connects to the refrigerator’s water supply and uses electronic controls to ensure a steady availability of ice.

Malfunctions in the Ice Maker often stem from problems with the water inlet valve, the electrical components, or the mechanical parts responsible for ejecting the ice.

Indications of a malfunctioning Ice Maker include:

- A lack of ice production, which may be due to issues with the water supply or the freezing mechanism.
- Failure to eject ice cubes, which could point to mechanical problems.
- Unusual sounds during operation, which may indicate internal issues.

Additionally, this Ice Maker is suitable for use with certain models from Maytag, KitchenAid, and Amana.
