Ice Machine Moisture Sensor (Water Level Sensor)

This component is located near the water pump of your ice maker. It is compatible with various brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part functions as a temperature sensor specifically designed for ice makers. Commonly referred to as an ice maker sensor, it is positioned in the water pump section of the ice maker. Its primary role is to monitor the water level in the reservoir and alert the control system when more water is needed.

The sensor measures approximately 3.5 inches in length and 2.5 inches in width. It comes with the required wiring connector for installation. The sensor activates the control system to start the water filling process once the water level reaches a predefined threshold, ensuring a steady production of ice.

For safety, ensure the ice maker is disconnected from power before installing this part. This genuine replacement part, supplied directly by the manufacturer, is suitable for use with models from KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Jenn-Air.
