Customer Questions and Answers for Ice Enclosure by Whirlpool

This ice enclosure is the molded housing for the refrigerator's ice compartment. It supports and protects the ice dispensing components and guides ice into the chute or bin, helping maintain proper alignment and smooth dispensing. What it does:

• Provides structural support for the ice bucket/auger and related dispenser components
• Helps guide ice from the compartment into the chute/bin to reduce spills and jams
• Aids in maintaining alignment and a consistent cold zone around the ice area
• Typical symptoms of failure: cracked/broken housing, ice bin won't seat securely, ice jams or intermittent dispensing, frost/ice buildup in the ice compartment

• One ice enclosure

• Disconnect power; remove the ice bin before service
• Note screw locations; detach the old enclosure and any connected clips or wiring
• Transfer any brackets or hardware from the original enclosure; reuse existing fasteners
• Mount the new enclosure without overtightening; restore power and verify normal dispensing
