WP681249 Whirlpool Refrigerator Screw

The screw is a genuine OEM part specifically for Whirlpool refrigerators, and it plays a crucial role in holding the ice maker assembly together. By keeping the components securely fastened, it helps maintain the assembly's structural integrity and ensures efficient ice production.

Whirlpool, a well-known appliance manufacturer, includes brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products compatible with Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

A screw can fail if its threads are stripped due to over-tightening or if it corrodes, which may result in a less stable connection.

Signs of a faulty screw in the ice maker assembly include:
- Components within the assembly becoming loose or dislodged.
- Reduced or inconsistent ice production as parts shift out of place.
- Strange noises from the ice maker caused by the movement of loose components.

This Whirlpool screw is also compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
