The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supplies water from the household plumbing to the ice maker, ensuring a consistent and reliable production of ice cubes. This kit includes a 1/4-inch plastic water line that is approximately 72 inches long. The tubing will need to be cut to match the desired length.

Causes of a bad water line can include wear and tear from prolonged use, kinks or bends restricting water flow, or leaks due to punctures or cracks. A compromised water line can result in inadequate ice production or water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Reduced or no ice production
• Leaking water from the refrigerator
• Visible cracks or damage to the water line
• Ice cubes that are smaller than usual

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

This spacer maintains the correct distance between mating components in your appliance's assembly so parts align and operate smoothly. Replacing a worn or missing spacer can correct looseness, rubbing, or vibration-related noise.

• Holds a precise gap between parts for proper alignment and motion
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact and premature wear
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, and scraping noises
• Common signs include misalignment, unusual gaps, looseness, or rubbing in the related assembly

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas/water, if applicable) before servicing
• Refer to your model's diagram to locate the spacer's exact location and orientation
• Inspect related fasteners and bushings; replace if worn
• Do not overtighten hardware to avoid deforming the spacer

8-16 thread screw secures panels, brackets, and trim inside refrigerators, dishwashers, and ice makers. Replace if missing, stripped, or damaged.

This water slide reservoir replaces the cracked or damaged reservoir that channels water to the dispenser/ice system, restoring a secure pathway for water and preventing leaks or loss of dispenser function. What it does:

• Collects and directs water from the inlet to the dispenser/ice mechanism
• Seals the water pathway to prevent leaks or puddling inside the cabinet
• Helps maintain proper water flow to the dispenser and icemaking components
• Commonly replaced for visible cracks, leaks, or reduced dispenser performance

• One water slide reservoir

• High-level fit: installs in the dispenser/ice assembly per OEM diagram; verify placement before fastening
• Recommended safety: unplug or disconnect power and shut off water supply before service
• Use basic hand tools; avoid overtightening fasteners to prevent cracking the plastic

This water reservoir tube routes chilled water from the refrigerator's internal reservoir to the dispenser line. Replacing a brittle, kinked, or cracked tube restores steady flow and helps stop leaks inside the fresh food compartment.

• Carries water between the reservoir and the dispenser supply path
• Maintains a sealed route to reduce internal leaks and air intrusion
• Damage or kinks can cause slow/no dispensing, intermittent flow, or water pooling near the crisper area
• Fresh tubing helps protect shelves and liners from water damage

• Disconnect power and shut off the household water supply before servicing
• Dispense water to relieve line pressure; place a towel/container to catch residual water
• Note original routing; avoid sharp bends and contact with moving or warm components
• Fully seat the tube into quick-connect fittings; tug gently to confirm it's locked

If your ice maker is leaking water or forming ice buildup around the fill area, a cracked or missing overflow tube may be the cause. Simple fix.

This front-and-rear mounting bracket secures the appliance's front and rear assemblies to the cabinet, restoring proper alignment and support. Replacing a worn or damaged bracket helps reduce panel movement, rattling and improper fit. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the appliance's front and rear assemblies to maintain alignment and cabinet integrity.
• Stops or reduces rattling, vibration and shifting caused by loose or broken mounting hardware.
• Prevents gaps and misalignment that can affect doors, panels or controls.
• Fits original mounting locations to restore factory support.

• Bracket (front and rear)

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Use the original fasteners or manufacturer-recommended hardware; do not force or bend the bracket.
• Inspect adjacent mounting points and fasteners for wear; replace any damaged parts.

This is a spacer used in the refrigerator to maintain proper alignment and clearance between components. It helps ensure parts are correctly positioned and securely mounted. Replace this spacer if it is cracked, missing, or if components appear misaligned or loose.

Connects the cutter grid to your ice maker's electrical system. Replace if wires are frayed, damaged, or connections are loose or corroded.

Fix poor ice production or uneven cooling caused by a loose evaporator assembly. This support bracket secures the evaporator grid for proper airflow.

The shelf support is a small bracket or peg that holds refrigerator or freezer shelves securely in place at the correct height inside the cabinet. It clips or slides into a track along the interior wall and bears the weight of the shelf and its contents. Replace this part if a shelf is sagging, tilting, or has dropped because the original support is broken or missing.

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.
