The Icemaker Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This thermostat plays a crucial role in the icemaker's operation by monitoring the temperature in the icemaker and ensuring it is at the appropriate level for proper ice production. It reads the temperature to determine when the icemaker should cycle on and off.

Causes of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat can include electrical malfunctions, temperature sensor issues, or wear and tear.

Symptoms of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat may include:

• Inconsistent ice production.
• The icemaker not cycling properly.
• The icemaker not dumping the ice into the ice bin.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This icemaker fill cup and bearing assembly directs water from the inlet tube into the ice mold and provides the pivot point for the shutoff arm. Replacing a cracked or missing cup helps stop leaks, misdirected fills, and inconsistent ice production.

• Channels incoming water into the ice mold to prevent splashing and overfilling
• Provides the pivot/bearing for the ice level (shutoff) arm
• Helps maintain consistent cube size and reliable icemaker shutoff
• Typical symptoms: water or ice buildup under the icemaker, overfilling or hollow/irregular cubes, or a loose/binding shutoff arm

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin and detach the icemaker to access the side-mounted cup
• Position the new cup directly under the fill tube; secure with existing hardware and verify the shutoff arm pivots freely in the bearing

This replacement ejector is the plastic arm that pushes harvested ice cubes out of the ice mold and into the storage bin, helping restore proper ice ejection and reduce ice that sticks inside the tray. What it does:

• Pushes ice cubes out of the ice mold during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Works with the ice maker's motor/gear assembly to advance cubes into the bin.
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken ejector arms that can leave ice stuck in the mold.
• Can help address symptoms such as cubes that don't eject, partial fills, or frequent ice jams.

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to prevent electrical shock.
• Remove the ice bin and follow the OEM ice maker removal steps to access the ejector.
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking; inspect gears, mounts, and the ice tray for related wear.

The Ice Level Arm is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an component of the ice maker, responsible for sensing the ice level in the ice bin and controlling the ice production cycle. When the ice bin reaches capacity, the ice level arm signals the ice maker to stop producing ice, ensuring efficient operation.

You should replace this ice level arm if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad ice level arm can include mechanical wear and tear, accidental damage, or issues with the connection to the ice maker mechanism.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Level Arm include:

• Continuous ice production, leading to overfilling
• The ice maker not producing ice even when the bin is empty
• The ice level arm not moving freely or appearing stuck

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