Amana Refrigerator Ice Maker & Related

The Icemaker Shut-Off Arm is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located within the freezer compartment attached to the ice maker assembly, this lever arm activates the shut-off switch to terminate the harvest cycle once the ice bin is full.

Causes relate to cracked or broken lever arms no longer reliably engaging the switch assembly. Mineral scale accumulation may also inhibit smooth operation over time.

Symptoms of a faulty shut-off arm include:

• Ice piling up outside the bin instead of dispensing properly
• The Bin light remaining on indicates a full bin when more ice can still fit
• Excessive ice production drives up energy costs

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

The Ice Mold is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component forms the ice cubes in the icemaker, shaping the water into cubes as it freezes. The ice mold is crucial for the efficient production of ice, ensuring that each cube is properly formed and easily released into the ice bucket.

You should replace the ice mold if it shows signs of wear or damage. Causes of a bad ice mold can include mineral buildup from hard water, physical damage to the mold surface, or malfunctioning heating elements that prevent ice from releasing properly.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Mold include:

• Ice cubes not forming correctly or being irregular in shape
• Ice cubes sticking to the mold and not dispensing
• The icemaker not producing ice at all
• Leaks around the icemaker area

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

The Ice Dispenser Yoke is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It houses the ice dispensing mechanism and guides ice from the ice bucket into the chute upon user activation.

Causes of a bad ice dispenser yoke include worn gears or parts that lead to failure of the dispensing mechanism. Broken pieces or cracks in the yoke itself can also prevent proper ice delivery.

Symptoms of a bad ice dispenser yoke include:

• Ice jams or fails to dispense from the refrigerator door
• Chunky or uneven pieces of ice dispensed
• Grinding or sticking sounds coming from the ice dispensing area
• Dispenser mechanism not activating or operating as intended

This OEM Whirlpool part keeps operations efficient without spills or frustration. It's also compatible with models by Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper refrigerators.

The Icemaker Complete Add-On Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. The kit includes the icemaker head, auger motor assembly, wire harness, installation hardware, and more.

The Shut Off Arm is an OEM part for Whirlpool ice makers in refrigerators. This component plays a critical role in regulating ice production by signaling the ice maker to stop producing ice once the ice bin is full. It ensures that the ice maker does not overflow, maintaining efficient ice production and storage.

Over time, wear and tear, accidental impacts, or mechanical failures can impair its ability to accurately detect the ice level.

Symptoms of a bad Shut Off Arm include:

• Ice maker continuously producing ice even when full
• Ice maker not producing ice at all
• Ice overflowing from the ice bin
• Unusual noises from the ice maker mechanism

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

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

The Motor Coupling is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This coupling connects the ice dispenser motor to the ice dispensing mechanism, allowing the motor to drive the ice auger and dispense ice effectively.

This end cap fits on the front of the ice-bin auger. It secures the auger shaft and blade stack inside the ice container so cubes or crushed ice dispense smoothly and the auger stays properly aligned.

• Secures the front of the auger and blades in the ice bucket
• Maintains auger alignment with the drive for reliable ice dispensing
• Helps prevent jams and rattling in the ice container
• Common symptoms of a failed cap: weak/no ice dispense, loose/wobbly auger, grinding or rattling noises, visible cracks or a missing cap

• Disconnect power and remove the ice bin before servicing
• Note the order of blades, spacers, and washers; take a photo for reassembly
• Replace the cap and reassemble in the original order using existing hardware
• Ensure the bin is fully seated and test dispense after restoring power

This ice container stores the ice your refrigerator makes and interfaces with the dispenser drive so cubes reach the door. Replacing a cracked or worn bin restores smooth, sanitary ice storage and dependable dispensing.

• Holds and organizes ice beneath the icemaker
• Guides cubes to the dispenser drive for cube or crushed delivery on models with a dispenser
• Helps prevent spills and stray ice in the freezer
• Common failure signs: cracked bin, ice not dispensing, clumping/jamming, or frost/shavings around the bucket area

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off power before servicing; empty the old bin
• Slide the bin straight out and clear frost/debris from rails or the mounting area
• Align the drive connection (if present) and fully seat the new container so it sits flush or latches
• Restore power and test the ice dispense function

The ice auger and crusher blade crush and shave the ice that dispenses on a refrigerator. This part can be used to repair a refrigerator that is no longer dispensing ice. Sometimes when the ice dispenser malfunctions and makes a loud noise but doesn't dispense cubed or shaved ice, the problem is with the auger and crusher blade. Perform a visual inspection of the auger and crusher blade to ensure no external damage is done to the components.Disconnect the refrigerator from its power source before starting this repair. Open the freezer door to access the ice bucket and dispenser area. The bucket is held in place by fastening clips that can be pushed to remove the bucket. Lay the bucket flat on its back with the auger and blade facing upwards. Remove the old auger and crusher blade by removing the four hex screws. Remove the helix end-cap from the old auger system and replace it with the new one. Repeat these steps in reverse to install the new component.This Whirlpool ice auger and crusher is a genuine OEM product sourced directly from Whirlpool. The part listed is only available individually and is not included with any other parts or original appliances. This part is compatible with Whirlpool, Amana, Kenmore, and Maytag appliances.
