This heater fill tube channels water from the inlet valve to the appliance's heater/fill assembly, restoring proper fill performance and reducing the risk of leaks. Replace a damaged tube to re-establish correct water flow and operation. What it does:

• Directs water from the inlet valve into the heater/fill assembly so the unit can fill as intended.
• Commonly replaced when the tube is cracked, split, blocked, or leaking.
• Faulty tubes can cause water pooling, intermittent or no fill, or visible leaks at the connection.
• Works with existing seals and clamps to maintain a watertight connection when installed correctly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the water supply before starting.
• Drain residual water from lines and remove necessary access panels to reach the tube.
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps or seals during installation to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.

The Icemaker Motor Module is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This module is the heart of the icemaker, responsible for controlling the ice production cycle. It manages the timing, water fill, and ice tray ejection, ensuring that your refrigerator consistently produces and dispenses ice. 

Symptoms of a bad Icemaker Motor Module include:

• The icemaker failing to produce ice,
• Ice cubes not ejecting into the bin,
• The icemaker making unusual noises during operation.

Causes of motor module failure typically involve mechanical wear from continuous use, electrical failures such as short circuits, or water damage affecting the electronic components.

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

• Helps stop leaks from the valve area or water seeping into the ice mold between cycles
• Can resolve a condition where the valve hums/buzzes but no water flows

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing.
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water and relieve line pressure.
• Move tubing and wire connectors one at a time to the new valve to match positions; secure all connections.
• Restore water and power, check carefully for leaks, and run a test fill (clear any ice from the fill tube if applicable).

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

The Ice Mold is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component forms the ice cubes in the icemaker, shaping the water into cubes as it freezes. The ice mold is crucial for the efficient production of ice, ensuring that each cube is properly formed and easily released into the ice bucket.

You should replace the ice mold if it shows signs of wear or damage. Causes of a bad ice mold can include mineral buildup from hard water, physical damage to the mold surface, or malfunctioning heating elements that prevent ice from releasing properly.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Mold include:

• Ice cubes not forming correctly or being irregular in shape
• Ice cubes sticking to the mold and not dispensing
• The icemaker not producing ice at all
• Leaks around the icemaker area

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