Parts for Ikea IX6HHEXDSM00: Ice Maker Parts

This ice mold and heater assembly forms the ice cubes and warms the mold just enough during harvest so cubes release cleanly into the bin. Replacing a worn mold/heater restores reliable ice production and prevents jams or incomplete ejection.

• Forms the ice cube cavities and provides gentle heat for smooth release
• Can help resolve slow or no ice production due to cubes sticking in the mold
• Address misshapen cubes, ice jams, or incomplete harvest cycles
• Common when the coating is worn, the heater is open, or cubes consistently hang up

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing the icemaker
• Remove the icemaker assembly to access and swap the mold/heater unit
• Transfer any required brackets or hardware from the old part if applicable
• After reassembly, restore power and allow several hours for normal ice making

The Shut Off Arm is an OEM part for Whirlpool ice makers in refrigerators. This component plays a critical role in regulating ice production by signaling the ice maker to stop producing ice once the ice bin is full. It ensures that the ice maker does not overflow, maintaining efficient ice production and storage.

Over time, wear and tear, accidental impacts, or mechanical failures can impair its ability to accurately detect the ice level.

Symptoms of a bad Shut Off Arm include:

• Ice maker continuously producing ice even when full
• Ice maker not producing ice at all
• Ice overflowing from the ice bin
• Unusual noises from the ice maker mechanism

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

The Icemaker Fill Cup Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators. Located inside the icemaker assembly, the fill cup sensor works to automatically detect when an ice scoop or bucket is in place below the icemaker chute. It signals the icemaker to drop ice cubes into the receptacle below.

Causes of a bad fill cup sensor can include mineral or dirt build-up inhibiting sensor response, moisture damage to its electronic functioning, or physical damage to the sensor head.

Symptoms of a bad fill cup sensor include:

• Ice failing to dispense or drop when a container is in place
• Ice clumping in the chute instead of dispensing properly  
• The icemaker continuing to run even with ice present below
• Inability to sense when ice is removed from the bucket

This OEM Whirlpool replacement fill cup sensor is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators. 

This Arm Ejector secures and positions the dishwasher spray arm so it spins properly and distributes water for effective cleaning. Replacing a worn or broken ejector restores spray-arm stability and helps prevent uneven washing. What it does:

• Holds the spray arm in the correct position so it can rotate freely
• Prevents spray arm wobble, scraping, or falling off during cycles
• Helps maintain proper water distribution for consistent cleaning
• Can resolve symptoms like noisy spray arm movement or uneven wash performance

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before starting any repair
• Remove the lower spray arm and mounting cup as shown in your model's parts diagram to access the ejector
• Inspect surrounding components for wear when replacing the ejector
• Use only the exact replacement part number to ensure proper fit and function

This comb-shaped insert mounts at the front of the modular ice maker. It strips freshly ejected cubes from the rake and directs them into the bin to help prevent jams and cube hang-ups for consistent ice harvests.

• Guides cubes off the ejector fingers and into the bin
• Helps prevent cubes from re-entering the mold, bridging, or jamming
• Replaces a cracked, warped, or missing stripper to restore proper harvest path
• Typical symptoms: cubes stuck on the ejector, repeated jams, ice spilling or clumping

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator and turn off the ice maker before servicing
• Remove the ice maker front cover; release locking tabs or screws to remove the old stripper
• Position the new stripper over the ejector fingers; seat fully without forcing the rake
• Reinstall cover/ice maker, restore power, and allow a full cycle to verify operation

This is a replacement screw fastener used to secure appliance components and panels. It restores proper fastening and helps stop loose parts from vibrating or shifting during operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components in place to maintain appliance stability
• Stops rattling, vibration noise, and intermittent contact caused by loose fasteners
• Restores proper alignment where original screws have stripped, corroded, or been lost
• Functions as a direct-fit hardware replacement when the OEM screw is needed

• One replacement screw (quantity: 1)

• Use appropriate driver and moderate torque to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working on the unit
• Repair or replace the mating component as needed

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

This ice container stores the ice your refrigerator makes and interfaces with the dispenser drive so cubes reach the door. Replacing a cracked or worn bin restores smooth, sanitary ice storage and dependable dispensing.

• Holds and organizes ice beneath the icemaker
• Guides cubes to the dispenser drive for cube or crushed delivery on models with a dispenser
• Helps prevent spills and stray ice in the freezer
• Common failure signs: cracked bin, ice not dispensing, clumping/jamming, or frost/shavings around the bucket area

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off power before servicing; empty the old bin
• Slide the bin straight out and clear frost/debris from rails or the mounting area
• Align the drive connection (if present) and fully seat the new container so it sits flush or latches
• Restore power and test the ice dispense function

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It controls the flow of water to the ice maker and water dispenser, ensuring the appliance receives the right amount of water for ice production and dispensing. The valve opens and closes to regulate water flow, facilitating efficient operation of the refrigerator’s ice and water features.

You should replace this water inlet valve if it becomes clogged, damaged, or fails to operate correctly. Common causes of a bad valve include mineral buildup from hard water, wear and tear from regular use, or electrical issues that prevent the valve from opening or closing properly.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• No water to the ice maker or dispenser
• Slow or inconsistent water flow
• Leaks or drips from the valve area
• Ice maker not producing ice

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

Direct-replacement water tube that routes water from the fridge inlet to the ice maker fill valve, restoring consistent water delivery and helping prevent leaks or ice maker fill failures caused by cracked or clogged tubing. What it does:

• Routes water to the ice maker fill valve so the ice maker can fill properly.
• Restores normal water flow when cracked, pinched, or deteriorated tubing reduces fill.
• Helps stop internal leaks that can occur from split or brittle tubing.
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent/no ice production, slow or no fill, or water pooling under the refrigerator.

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the water supply before starting.
• Replace tubing by loosening any clamps or quick-connect fittings; inspect and replace any worn O-rings or clips.
• Avoid kinks or sharp bends when routing the new tube; secure with existing clips to prevent vibration wear.
• After installation, restore water and power, then check for leaks and confirm the ice maker fills normally.

This wire harness provides the electrical connection between the ice maker module and the refrigerator's control/power system, restoring reliable power and signal delivery for normal ice-making operation. What it does:

• Connects the ice maker module to the main power and control circuits so the ice maker can cycle and produce ice.
• Replaces damaged, frayed, or loose wiring that can cause intermittent operation or a non-working ice maker.
• Helps resolve symptoms such as the ice maker not powering up, not cycling, or producing little to no ice.
