Parts for Whirlpool 824421985: Diepenser Front Parts

The Ice Dispenser Chute Door is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is located in the ice dispenser mechanism on the freezer door and is responsible for opening and closing the ice chute. The chute door helps to dispense ice properly and prevents warm air from entering the freezer compartment, which can lead to frost buildup and inefficient cooling.

Symptoms of a failing Ice Dispenser Chute Door include:

• Ice not dispensing properly or getting stuck in the chute
• Frost or ice buildup around the ice dispenser area
•  Warm air entering the freezer, causing temperature fluctuations
• The dispenser door not opening or closing correctly, leading to gaps

Causes of a bad ice dispenser chute door can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from ice jams or blockages, and degradation of the door’s sealing mechanism over time.

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

Note: This part longer uses the ribbon heater due to the improved foam design. If your refrigerator uses this ice door and the mounting tabs are broken, you can use the broken tab ice door kit 8201756.

An ice maker delay mechanism is the small timing device that staggers the steps of the ice-making cycle so each action happens in the right order. Replacing a worn unit helps restore steady, predictable ice production.

• Provides a brief, controlled delay in the ice maker cycle so components engage in the correct order
• Helps prevent short cycling or erratic operation
• Failure may result in no ice, intermittent ice, or stalls mid-cycle
• May be accompanied by repeated clicking or ticking from the ice maker head

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice maker assembly to access the delay mechanism
• Transfer any brackets or clips from the original part if required
• Align components carefully during reassembly to avoid bending any lever arms
