Customer Questions and Answers for Ice Enclosure (Housing) by Whirlpool

This ice enclosure is the molded housing for the refrigerator's ice path. It supports and aligns related components so ice moves properly and helps keep warm air out to reduce frost and moisture around the ice area.

• Provides a rigid mounting point for ice-path components to keep alignment and flow
• Helps maintain an air barrier to minimize frost, sweating, and ice clumping
• Replace if the original housing is cracked, warped, or broken
• Common symptoms include frost or condensation near the ice opening, ice clumps, or poor/jammed ice dispensing

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Access the ice area (door or interior access varies by model); retain screws and clips for re-use
• Transfer any guides, seals, or switches from the original enclosure to the new part in the same orientation
• Reassemble, restore power, and check for smooth operation and a good seal
