Parts for Maytag JIM158XBCX0: 04 - Control Panel Parts

This transformer assembly provides the low-voltage power supply needed by the appliance's control system so the control board and user interface receive stable operating voltage. It restores proper control and display function when the transformer fails. What it does:

• Converts incoming line voltage to the low-voltage supply used by the control board and user interface.
• Helps the electronic control power up so cycle selection, lights and display operate correctly.
• Commonly replaced when the appliance shows no display, no response from controls, or intermittent control operation.
• Fits into the control module area and connects to the control board and power wiring.

• One transformer assembly as pictured and specified by the manufacturer.

• Disconnect all power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Handle wiring carefully; note or photograph connector locations before removal for correct reassembly.
• Replacement may require access to the control panel or console.
• Use only the exact part number replacement; do not attempt to modify or bypass the transformer.

The Thermistor is an OEM part for Whirlpool Ice Machines. It monitors the temperature within the ice machine and sends readings to the control board to regulate the ice-making process.

Over time, the thermistor can become faulty due to electrical issues, normal wear and tear, or exposure to moisture. If the thermistor fails, it can lead to improper ice production or temperature regulation.

Symptoms of a bad ice machine thermistor include:

• Inconsistent ice production
• Ice machine not making ice at all
• Ice cubes that are too large or too small
• The ice machine running continuously or not cycling properly

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

Size: 8-18 x 5/8 inch.

The Ice Thermistor Assembly is the temperature sensor your refrigerator uses to monitor the ice maker/ice compartment. Accurate readings help the control time harvests and maintain proper ice room temperature, restoring consistent ice production when the sensor fails. What it does

• Senses temperature at the ice maker/ice compartment and reports to the control
• Helps the control time ice harvests and, on some models, manage ice box airflow
• Can address issues like no ice, intermittent/slow ice production, or ice clumping/melting
• Clear a thermistor-related fault noted in service diagnostics

• One ice thermistor assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the ice maker/ice compartment; note original sensor placement and wire routing
• Transfer any clips/insulators if present, connect the new harness, and secure the sensor in the same location
• Restore power and run the unit's ice maker/service test (if available) to operation
