Parts for Whirlpool WRQA59CNKZ: Icemaker Parts

This automatic refrigerator ice maker assembly molds water into cubes and ejects them into the bin, restoring steady ice production. Replace a failed icemaker that no longer cycles, fills with water, or ejects cubes reliably.

• Freezes water in its mold and harvests finished cubes into the ice bin
• Controls the fill, freeze, and harvest sequence for automatic ice making
• Works with the refrigerator's controls to start/stop ice production as designed
• Common symptoms: no ice or low ice volume; won't fill; cubes won't eject; unit stalled mid-cycle

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin; loosen mounting screws; unplug the wire harness; lift out the old assembly
• Transfer any brackets, covers, or fill cup from the original unit if required
• Align with the fill tube; secure screws; reconnect harness; restore power and water; allow up to 24 hours for full ice production

The Water Tube is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators that feature an internal water and ice dispensing system. This plastic tubing carries chilled water from the refrigerator compartment to the ice maker.

Causes of a bad water tube can include cracking, kinking, or developing leaks from normal wear and flexing over many years of use. Mineral deposits or algae growth inside the tubing may also induce restrictions.

Symptoms of a bad water tube include:

• Slow or diminished water flow  
• Fluctuating water pressure levels
• Leaks developing at crimped tube connections
• Failure of water to dispense completely 

This genuine OEM Whirlpool water tube is also a direct replacement for similar dispensing tubes used in Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, and some GE side-by-side refrigerators.
