The Ice Maker is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It automates the ice production within the freezer, providing a steady and reliable supply of ice cubes. 

Causes of a bad Ice Maker can include malfunctioning water valves, clogged filter systems, or issues with the thermostat that affect ice production. Additionally, mechanical failures in the ice ejector arms or the heating mechanism that releases the ice can prevent proper functioning.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Maker include:

  • No ice production or very slow ice production
  • Ice cubes that are smaller or larger than normal
  • Ice that tastes odd or smells bad
  • Loud noises during the ice-making process

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

Answer

Tim, it would be recommended that the temperature in the freezer is tested by placing a thermometer into water and allowing it to sit for 24 hours. If the temperature is not less than 10°F, the ice maker will not harvest ice. If it is reaching less than 10°F, the next step would be identifying if there is a broken wire at the door hinge. If good, the bin switch would need to be tested for continuity when pressed as it should have continuity at that time. If good, the failure would likely be in the ice maker W10873791.
