The Door Chute is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part directs ice from the ice maker into the ice bucket or dispenser chute. The door chute ensures a smooth and controlled flow of ice, preventing spills and maintaining the efficiency of the ice dispensing system.

Common issues include cracks, warping, or blockages that can obstruct the flow of ice and affect the dispenser's performance.

Symptoms of a bad door chute include:

  • Ice not dispensing properly
  • Ice jamming or clogging in the chute
  • Leaks or drips around the ice dispenser area
  • The door chute not sealing correctly

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

Bob M. for Model Number Gs6nbextr01

Ice chute door does not open. I had replaced the motor, and upon emailing a question, I ordered the circuit board. I checked the dispener pads and they both have between 4-8 ohms. I replaced the circuit board ap3882921 and alas, the door still does not open! So, what shall I buy next? One note, if I lightly press the ice dispenser pad, the chute trys to open, but doesn't, so finally I held the chute door open, why not, nothing else works, and did this twice and the door works fine for two to four times then back to no open. Isn't there a service manual somewhere, cause so far I'm without ice and$$$$

Answer

Hi Bob. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Find the tech. sheet inside the controls inside or folded behind the grill kick plate. It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. We will send you the tech sheet found on similar units. Find your wiring diagram and use the diagnostic sheet to assist you in the voltage checks output from the fountain control board to the inner board you already replaced. Our young archives do not have this wiring diagram itself yet. Is the motor getting the voltage? Is the keypad ribbon cable itself kinked or not fully inserted into the fountain control board ? Remove the top hinge and see if there are any burnt open or pushed open pins in the molex connector. Are there pins pushed back and not making connection? Are the pins on the boards and connectors making good connection? Use a magnifying glass if needed. Thank You.
