The Water Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to filter and purify the water for your refrigerator, ensuring clean and fresh drinking water and ice.

A bad refrigerator water filter can be caused by regular use and the buildup of contaminants over time. It may also become less effective if not replaced according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule.

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator water filter include:

• A decrease in water flow or water pressure.
• An unpleasant taste or odor in the water.
• The presence of particles or sediment in the water.
• Cloudy or discolored ice cubes.

If you notice any of these signs or if it has been more than six months since your last filter replacement, it's time to replace the refrigerator water filter with this genuine OEM part. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

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

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
• Remove the ice bin for access; withdraw the old arm from the pivot holes
• Insert the new arm into the ice maker pivot points; ensure smooth up/down movement
• Restore power and verify the arm raises to stop and lowers to start ice making

The Icemaker Fill Cup 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.
