• Opens the electrical circuit at a preset over-temperature to stop heating or operation
• Helps protect internal components and wiring from heat damage
• Common symptoms include: won't heat, shuts off during use, or no power after an overheat event

• 1 limit switch

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Access the switch, note wire positions, and transfer wires one at a time
• Mount the switch flat and firmly against the original sensing surface or bracket
• After replacement, check for root causes of overheating (blocked airflow, failed fan, dirty filters, shorted element)

The Ice Chute Door is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. It provides access to the dedicated ice and water storage and dispensing compartment located on the refrigerator door.  

Causes of a faulty chute door can include normal wear from frequent use. Internal temperature fluctuations may cause durability issues over several years.

Symptoms of problems include:

• Failure to fully close or form a tight seal  
• Difficulty dispensing ice or water due to door misalignment
• Premature cooling loss from unsealed opening
• Physical damage preventing proper closing

This OEM door is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators.

The ice chute hinge mounts in the dispenser and lets the ice door pivot open and closed. Replacing a worn hinge restores smooth movement and a tighter seal, helping prevent frost, moisture, and warm-air leaks at the dispenser.

• Supports and pivots the dispenser's ice chute door/flap
• Helps the door seat firmly to reduce warm air infiltration
• Wear or damage can cause sticking, sagging, or misalignment
• Common symptoms: frosting or condensation at the dispenser, ice clumping, or a door that won't open/close smoothly

• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before servicing the dispenser
• Remove dispenser trim/control panel per service instructions; support the ice door when detaching the hinge
• Transfer the ice door and any spring/fasteners to the new hinge; reuse original hardware if applicable
• Verify free movement and full closure of the door before reassembly

The Ice Chute Door Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part returns the ice chute door to its closed position after ice has been dispensed, ensuring the door remains sealed to maintain proper temperature and efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad ice chute door spring include:

• The ice chute door not closing properly
• Ice or frost buildup around the ice chute
• Warm air entering the freezer compartment
• Difficulty in dispensing ice

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