Manufacturer Part Number: WP2180259

The Ice Dispenser Lever is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators with built-in ice dispensers. Located inside the ice and water compartment, the lever is responsible for releasing cubed or crushed ice when engaged.

Symptoms of a bad ice dispenser lever include:

  • Failure to dispense ice when the lever is lifted
  • Loose, wobbly, or uneven movement of the lever
  • Ice dispenser mechanism not triggering properly

Causes of a bad lever can be worn gears or connector linkages inside the ice dispensing mechanism from repeated use over time.

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

Paul for Model Number Kitchen Aid Supra Refrig

The plastic retaining "ring" for the ice lever has broken across approximately 120 degrees. This allows the bar at the top of the lever to fall out of position and thus render the ice dispenser lever inoperable. A service call gave me the info that this part was no longer available and thus the answer was, "buy a new door or refrigerator". Does anyone have any suggetions on how to fix this very small plastic piece and/or an after market source for the part? The broken piece is gone.

Answer

Hi Paul You will remove the Fountian spill catcher. Take the 2-screws out of the bottom of the fountian. Remove power. Lift and remove fountian control. Mark all wires so you can reconnect them upon installation. The ice door kit will help assure the flapper closure. Part # is W10823377. The fountian ice dispenser lever is along with the chute flapper. Using this kit along with the lever part # is WP2180259. Thank you.
