Customer Questions and Answers for Coupling by Whirlpool

The Ice Maker Coupler is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It connects the ice maker drive motor to the auger shaft and gear assembly inside the ice storage bin. This allows rotational force to be transferred between components, ensuring efficient ice harvesting and delivery.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker coupler include:

• Slow or inconsistent dispensing of ice
• Improper filling of the storage bin
• Ice that is jammed or dispensed in clumps

Causes can involve normal wear and tear over time that leads to slippage between connected parts. Cracks or fractures in the coupler housing also inhibit smooth transmission of motor power throughout ice vending operations.

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