Parts for Whirlpool ET18JMYSG00: 08 - Icemaker Parts

Ice maker not filling or water dispenser not working? This water inlet valve controls flow to your refrigerator's ice and water system. DIY repair.

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.

Replace cracked or missing compression fitting inserts for 1/4-inch water tubing in refrigerators and ice makers. Prevents leaks at connections.

Secures water supply hoses to fittings, preventing leaks in ice makers and refrigerators. Replace when rusted, bent, or losing grip. Verify fit.

Size; 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

Size: 1/4 inch hex head, 10-12 x 1/2 inch.

This pressure regulator controls and stabilizes incoming water pressure to the appliance, helping maintain consistent operation and protect internal valves and seals. Fits systems that use a 3/4 inch inlet regulator. What it does:

• Reduces high incoming water pressure to a safe, steady level for the appliance
• Prevents pressure-related leaks, valve chatter, and premature wear on seals
• Helps maintain consistent water flow for reliable cycles and operation
• Commonly replaced when irregular pressure, humming valves, or water leaks occur

• One pressure regulator (3/4 in.)

• Turn off water supply and power to the appliance before starting; relieve system pressure first
• Inspect connection fittings and seals; use appropriate thread sealant if required by the OEM
• Tighten to manufacturer torque recommendations and check for leaks after restoring water

Electrode that produces the ignition spark for gas ovens and ranges, restoring reliable burner lighting. Replace a damaged or worn electrode to stop repeated clicking, weak sparks, or burners that fail to light. What it does:

• Delivers the spark at the burner to ignite gas during startup.
• Common symptom fix: oven/range burners that won't light or that click continuously without producing a flame.
• Use when the electrode is cracked, corroded, or the ceramic insulator is damaged.
• Works as part of the appliance's ignition system alongside the spark module/igniter wiring.

• Turn off power and gas supply before beginning any service.
• Avoid touching or chipping the ceramic insulator; handle the tip carefully.
• Reconnect wiring exactly as removed and secure the electrode in the original orientation.

This ice maker mold thermostat monitors the temperature of the ice-making chamber to control the harvest cycle. It signals when the ice is ready to be released from the mold and ensures proper ice formation. Replace this thermostat if your ice maker isn't producing ice, makes hollow or malformed cubes, or runs continuously without cycling.

1/4 inch compression nut for securing plastic water lines in refrigerators and ice makers. Replace worn, cracked, or missing nuts to prevent leaks.

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

Icemaker water inlet valve adapter kit, hose thread to 1/4" copper tubing

Rubber washer gasket for washer fill hose connections. Replace if worn or leaking at coupler adapter. Measures 1-1/16 x 5/8 inch. Verify fit with model.

This is a rubber or foam dampener designed to reduce vibration and noise from the compressor or refrigerant tubing. It attaches to the tubing or compressor mount to absorb vibrations during normal operation. Replace this dampener if you hear excessive rattling, buzzing, or vibration noises coming from the back or bottom of the refrigerator.

This part has been discontinued and is no longer available.

The Icemaker Fill Tube Fitting is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part connects the water supply line to the icemaker, ensuring a seamless and leak-free delivery of water into the icemaker mold.  

Causes of a bad Icemaker Fill Tube Fitting can include wear and tear over time, mineral buildup from hard water, which can block the water flow or damage the fitting, and improper installation that may lead to leaks or restricted water flow.

Symptoms of a bad Icemaker Fill Tube Fitting include:

• Water leakage at the connection points, leading to potential water damage or ice buildup in the freezer
• Insufficient ice production if the fitting is partially blocked or not properly connected, restricting water flow to the icemaker
• Unusual noise during the icemaker fill cycle, indicating a potential issue with the fitting

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

This is a rubber gasket that seals the connection between the water fill tube and the ice maker assembly inside the freezer compartment. It prevents water from leaking around the fill tube during the ice maker's fill cycle. Replace this gasket if you notice water dripping or ice buildup around the fill tube area, or if water is leaking onto the freezer floor during ice production.

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

Secures flexible tubing to fittings on water and drain lines. Replace when clamps lose tension or you find leaks. Confirm fit with your model number.
