Parts for Whirlpool G20EFSB23S8: 08 - Icemaker Parts

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 mold heater assembly warms the ice maker mold to help release ice and prevent ice buildup for consistent ice production. It replaces a faulty heater that can cause stuck cubes or irregular harvesting. What it does:

• Gently warms the ice mold so ice cubes release cleanly from the tray
• Helps prevent ice from sticking or freezing unevenly to the mold
• Supports regular ice harvesting cycles when heater has failed or is intermittent
• Works as the heater component inside the ice maker housing

• One mold heater assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service
• Accessible from the ice maker module area; some models require removing the ice bin or access panel
• Handle the heater and surrounding components carefully to avoid damage to the ice maker

The shut-off arm is the lever that tells the ice maker when to stop and start making ice. Replace a bent, missing, or jammed arm to restore proper ice production control and prevent bin overfilling. What it does:

• Lowers to allow ice production; raises to stop cycles when the bin is full (down = on, up = off)
• Helps prevent overfilling, spills, and auger jams
• Common symptoms: ice maker won't stop making ice, no ice when the arm is stuck up, inconsistent ice production from misalignment
• Restores proper ice level sensing when the original lever is damaged or missing

• One shut-off arm

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the ice bin to access the ice maker
• Seat the arm's pivot ends fully in the ice maker head; avoid bending the lever
• The arm moves freely up/down and clears the bin before restoring power

This icemaker fill cup guides incoming water from the refrigerator's inlet tube into the ice mold, helping prevent splashing and freeze-ups during the fill cycle. Replacing a cracked or missing cup restores consistent fills and reduces leaks.

• Directs water from the fill tube straight into the icemaker mold
• Helps prevent overspray, splashing, and ice buildup around the icemaker
• Replace if the cup is cracked, warped, loose, or missing
• Common symptoms: water dripping/freezing under the icemaker, clumped or misshapen cubes

• Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the icemaker assembly as needed to access the inlet/fill area
• Release the old cup and seat the new cup so the fill tube aligns with the opening
• Restore water and power; check for proper fill and any leaks

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

This support mounts in the dispenser area to secure the ice housing assembly. It helps keep the chute and door properly aligned so ice dispenses smoothly and the opening seals as designed.

This drive coupling connects the washer motor to the transmission, transferring power to spin and agitate the tub. Replacing a worn coupling restores proper drivetrain engagement and reduces slipping, grinding, or loss of agitation. What it does:

• Transfers rotational force from the motor to the transmission so the washer can agitate and spin.
• Failsafe for worn motor-to-gearcase connection; a broken coupling commonly causes no-agitate or no-spin symptoms.
• Can produce burning smell, loud grinding, or slipping when deteriorated.
• Helps prevent further damage to the motor or transmission by isolating shock loads.

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair.
• Basic disassembly of the washer cabinet and access to the motor/transmission area is required.
• Verify correct alignment of tabs/slots during installation to ensure proper engagement.
