The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supplies water from the household plumbing to the ice maker, ensuring a consistent and reliable production of ice cubes. This kit includes a 1/4-inch plastic water line that is approximately 72 inches long. The tubing will need to be cut to match the desired length.

Causes of a bad water line can include wear and tear from prolonged use, kinks or bends restricting water flow, or leaks due to punctures or cracks. A compromised water line can result in inadequate ice production or water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Reduced or no ice production
• Leaking water from the refrigerator
• Visible cracks or damage to the water line
• Ice cubes that are smaller than usual

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

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It regulates the supply of water to the ice maker and water dispenser features. Properly functioning valves are essential for reliably producing ice and dispensing filtered water.

Symptoms of a faulty inlet valve include:

• Ice maker or dispenser not working properly  
• Water leaking or spraying from the supply line connections
• Irregular water pressure when dispensing

Causes can involve mineral buildup overtime inhibiting flow control or a motor malfunctioning to switch the valve on and off. 

This replacement valve is also compatible with brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air. 

Note: If your original valve assembly had an additional connector bracket, the factory no longer includes that with the valve. The connector bracket can be ordered separately by ordering part# WPW10445062.

This outer front panel replaces a worn, cracked or damaged front cover to restore the appliance's appearance and protect internal components. It matches OEM form and fit for an exact external repair. What it does

• Covers and protects internal components at the front of the appliance.
• Restores a finished appearance if the original front panel is dented, cracked or scratched.
• Helps keep lint, dust and debris away from internal parts behind the panel.
• Supports proper alignment of control and door openings (when applicable).

• One front cover (single outer front panel) as shown.

• Installation requires basic tools; remove power and disconnect appliance before starting.
• Support the cabinet or door while removing fasteners to avoid damage or injury.
• Retain and re-use any original screws, clips or gaskets unless replacements are supplied separately.

A replacement machine screw with 8-32 threads used to secure panels and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. Installs quickly to restore proper fit and stop rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, brackets or components that use 8-32 machine-thread fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and prevents vibration-related noise
• Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged screws that allow parts to come loose
• Works where a standard 8-32 machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power and/or gas before servicing the appliance to reduce shock or injury risk
• Use the proper screwdriver or nut driver for the screw head to avoid stripping
• Thread gently and stop when snug; do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• If threads are damaged, replace with the correct-size screw rather than forcing it

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.

This replacement ejector is the plastic arm that pushes harvested ice cubes out of the ice mold and into the storage bin, helping restore proper ice ejection and reduce ice that sticks inside the tray. What it does:

• Pushes ice cubes out of the ice mold during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Works with the ice maker's motor/gear assembly to advance cubes into the bin.
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken ejector arms that can leave ice stuck in the mold.
• Can help address symptoms such as cubes that don't eject, partial fills, or frequent ice jams.

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to prevent electrical shock.
• Remove the ice bin and follow the OEM ice maker removal steps to access the ejector.
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking; inspect gears, mounts, and the ice tray for related wear.

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

The ice maker bracket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This bracket is a structural component that holds and supports the icemaker assembly within the refrigerator. It allows for secure mounting and installation of the icemaker while also maintaining proper alignment.

Causes of a bad bracket can include wear and tear over time, cracks or breaks due to impact or stress, or corrosion issues that compromise the integrity of the mounting structure.

Symptoms of a bad bracket include:

• Loose or unstable icemaker installation
• Improper ice production or dispensing
• Noise or vibrations emanating from the icemaker area
• Moisture leaks or water damage near the bracket mounting points

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

The Icemaker Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This thermostat plays a crucial role in the icemaker's operation by monitoring the temperature in the icemaker and ensuring it is at the appropriate level for proper ice production. It reads the temperature to determine when the icemaker should cycle on and off.

Causes of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat can include electrical malfunctions, temperature sensor issues, or wear and tear.

Symptoms of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat may include:

• Inconsistent ice production.
• The icemaker not cycling properly.
• The icemaker not dumping the ice into the ice bin.

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 refrigerator icemaker assembly forms and ejects ice cubes automatically to keep your freezer's ice bin stocked. Replacing a failed unit restores consistent ice production when the original stops cycling or makes little to no ice. What it does:

• Coordinates fill, freeze, and harvest to produce batches of ice cubes
• Ejects cubes into the bin and halts production when the bin is full (model-dependent control)
• Restores function when the old icemaker no longer cycles or ejects
• Typical symptoms: No ice production, intermittent or low ice output, cubes stuck in the mold, icemaker not advancing through a harvest

• 1 icemaker assembly

• Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin; loosen mounting screws and disconnect the wiring connector
• Position the new assembly, reconnect the harness, align the fill cup to the fill tube, and secure with screws
• Restore power and water; check for proper fill and harvest
