• Helps prevent ice maker overfilling when the bin is full
• Can resolve issues like continuous ice production, overfilling, or ice not stopping
• Restores original fit and function on compatible ice maker assemblies

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the ice maker, then slide/clip the extension onto the shut-off arm as directed by your model's service info
• Ensure the arm moves freely and properly actuates the ice maker switch
• Restore power and verify the arm stops ice production when raised

This is the mechanical shutoff arm for the ice maker. It lifts to pause ice production when the bin is full and lowers to resume, restoring proper on/off control to help prevent overfilling or a no-ice condition.

• Starts and stops ice production based on arm position (down = on, up = off)
• Replaces a bent, broken, or missing arm to restore proper shutoff function
• Helps address: ice maker won't stop making ice/overfills the bin
• Helps address: ice maker won't make ice because the arm is stuck in the up/off position

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
