The Pump-Recirculating is an OEM part for Whirlpool ice machines. This component is responsible for circulating water over the evaporator plate to form ice, ensuring efficient ice production and consistent quality.

Over time, factors such as mineral buildup, clogging, or mechanical failure can impair the pump’s performance, leading to reduced ice production or complete failure of the ice-making process.

Symptoms of a bad ice machine pump-recirculating include:

  • Reduced or no ice production
  • Unusual noises coming from the ice machine
  • Water leaking or pooling inside the ice machine
  • Ice cubes that are smaller or misshapen

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

The part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks,
