W11170201 Whirlpool Stand Mixer Ice Cream Maker Attachment Drive Assembly

The Stand Mixer Ice Cream Maker Attachment Drive Assembly is a key component manufactured by Whirlpool for its range of built-in ice cream makers. Whirlpool's portfolio includes brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces compatible products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The drive adapter in question is an OEM part designed to link the motor drive shaft with the agitator attachment, enabling the machine to effectively churn and freeze ice cream.

Common issues with the ice cream maker drive adapter often stem from normal wear and tear, mishandling, or mechanical damage affecting its connection to the drive shaft and agitator bowl.

Indicators of a malfunctioning drive adapter include:
- The ice cream maker not starting or operating correctly
- The agitator attachment disconnecting unexpectedly
- Unusual noises or vibrations from the motor area
- Failure to adequately freeze or churn ingredients

This replacement part from Whirlpool is also suitable for select models of KitchenAid and Kenmore ice cream makers.
