Parts for Admiral GC2227HEK3: 14 - Ice Maker (Gc2227hek3 / 5 / 9) Parts

This replacement bracket secures the refrigerator ice maker assembly so it stays properly positioned for reliable ice production. It restores stable mounting and helps prevent the ice maker from shifting or coming loose. What it does:

• Holds the ice maker assembly in place on the freezer liner or mounting frame
• Keeps the ice maker aligned for proper operation and water fill
• Helps stop vibration or movement that can cause noisy operation or misfeeds
• Useful when the original bracket is bent, broken, or missing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before starting
• Remove the ice maker to access the bracket mounting screws
• Reuse existing screws if undamaged; tighten to secure but avoid overtightening
• If mounting points or surrounding plastic are damaged, replace or repair before reinstalling

Does not come with wiring harness.

This ice maker cover shields the front of the ice maker assembly, protecting the module and moving parts from dust and accidental contact. Replacing a cracked or missing cover restores a clean, finished appearance and keeps components protected.

• Shields the ice maker's front components and control module
• Helps keep dust, splashes, and debris out of the mechanism
• Prevents accidental contact with moving ejector parts
• Replace if the cover is cracked, warped, missing, or will not stay attached

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the ice maker in the freezer compartment
• Carefully release the retaining tabs and remove the old cover; note orientation
• Align the new cover and press until it snaps securely into place—do not force the tabs

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.

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.

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
• Restore power and water; run a test fill and check for leaks

This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Holds the thermostat firmly against the evaporator line for proper temperature feedback
• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

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 part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.
