The Cutting Grid Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ice machines. It cuts sheets of frozen ice into individual cubes, ensuring ice is available in uniform sizes. Each kit contains 8 screws and approximately 10 feet of wire. Two kits are required to replace both directions of the cutting grid to ensure comprehensive restoration of the ice maker’s functionality.

Causes of a bad Cutting Grid Kit can be attributed to mineral deposits buildup, which can obstruct the cutting process, electrical malfunctions affecting the heating element, or physical damage to the grid wires. 

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Cutting Grid Kit are:

• Ice sheets not being cut into cubes
• Accumulation of uncut ice in the bin
• The heating element fails to warm up
• Inconsistent ice cube sizes

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