W11092533 Whirlpool Start Device

The Start Device is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators, suitable for initiating the functions of the ice and water dispensers located on the electronic control panel. This part is also compatible with several other brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, including KitchenAid, Maytag, and select Kenmore models, as well as appliances produced for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Common issues that might indicate a malfunctioning start device include:

- Failure to dispense ice or water.
- Erratic dispensing volumes.
- Error codes appearing on the control panel.
- Accumulation of condensation or leakage near the dispenser.

These problems typically arise from frequent usage of the dispenser controls or from moisture entering the system, possibly due to liquid spills, which may cause internal electrical issues.

This replacement part ensures continued functionality and compatibility with a range of refrigerator models from Whirlpool and associated brands.
