W11123943 Whirlpool Refrigerator Rocker Switch

Refrigerator Rocker Switch

Whirlpool manufactures a variety of brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Ice Bin Safety Switch is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. It ensures the ice maker operates safely and efficiently by detecting the presence of the ice bin. When the bin is correctly positioned, the switch activates the ice maker; when the bin is removed for cleaning or emptying, it deactivates the ice maker.

Issues with the Ice Bin Safety Switch can arise from several factors. Physical damage during cleaning or regular use, electrical problems such as short circuits, worn contacts on the switch, or misalignment and incorrect installation of the ice bin can all impact its performance.

Signs of a faulty Ice Bin Safety Switch include:

- The ice maker not producing ice
- The ice maker continuing to operate without the ice bin in place
- Erratic behavior from the ice maker, such as starting and stopping unpredictably

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