Parts for Whirlpool WSF26C3EXF01: 11 - Icemaker Parts

The FreshFlow Refrigerator Air Filter is an OEM component for Whirlpool and Maytag refrigerators. Located inside the ventilation system, this filter purifies circulated air. This air filter is 3" wide by 2" high and white in color. It should be replaced every 6 months to ensure the best performance.

Causes of failure relate to clogging from trapped dust, dander and other allergens despite regular replacement intervals. Performance decreases as filter media becomes saturated over months of use.  

Symptoms of a dirty or blocked refrigerator air filter include:

• Reduced airflow causes higher compressor runtime hours  
• Odors being pulled into the fridge from unfiltered vents  
• Shortening of food storage life due to unpurified air exposure
• Reduced fan speeds or strange noises originating from the vents

This genuine Whirlpool filter is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana models as well.

The Whirlpool EveryDrop Ice and Refrigerator Water Filter 1 is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This filter works to remove small particles from water to ensure clean, great-tasting ice and drinking water directly from the refrigerator door.  Measuring approximately 2.50 x 2.50 x 8.69 inches, this filter is easy to install. 

For optimal performance, we recommend replacing the filter every six months. The filter material is made from coconut carbon block, which has a micron rating of 0.5 and a flow rate of 0.5 gpm. The filter is designed to operate at a maximum pressure of 125 psi and an operating temperature of 38-100°.

Symptoms of a filter needing replacement include:

• Gradual decline in water/ice quality over time exhibiting muddy appearance or odd tastes
• Filter life indicator appears showing it is time for a new one 

Causes stem from normal usage over the stated capacity of the original filter. Allowing one to expire could produce unhealthy water.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with select Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana models as well.

This small metal mounting clip secures the thermal fuse in place to maintain proper thermal contact and stable wiring. It helps keep the fuse positioned so the appliance can monitor temperature reliably and operate safely. What it does:

• Secures the thermal fuse to the appliance housing or duct to prevent movement
• Keeps the fuse in correct contact with temperature-sensing surfaces
• Helps prevent intermittent heating or thermal-sensor misreads caused by a loose fuse
• Useful when replacing a damaged or missing fuse retainer during fuse service

• One thermal fuse mounting clip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove access panels per your model's service instructions to reach the fuse location
• Install clip in the same orientation as the original; use pliers if needed to seat it firmly
• Inspect the thermal fuse and wiring while installing; replace any damaged components per OEM guidance

This water supply tube connects at the inlet water valve, routing water through your appliance's water system. Replacing a brittle, cracked, or kinked line helps restore reliable, leak-free operation and proper water flow. What it does:

• Carries water from the inlet valve to the designated component (such as dispenser, icemaker, or filter housing, depending on model)
• Helps maintain proper water pressure and uninterrupted flow
• Common symptoms include leaks at the back/bottom, slow or no water at the dispenser, or an icemaker not filling
• Addresses visible cracks, brittleness, or kinks in the existing tubing

• 1 water supply tube

• Disconnect power and shut off the household water supply; relieve line pressure by dispensing water
• Place a towel to catch residual water and note the original routing before removal
• For push-in/quick-connect fittings, insert fully and tug back to verify engagement; if using compression fittings, tighten snugly without overtightening
• Turn water on and check all connections for leaks before restoring power

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It regulates the flow of water into the refrigerator’s water dispenser and ice maker. This valve ensures that the correct amount of water is supplied to these components, enabling the production of ice and the dispensing of water on demand.

Over time, the water inlet valve can wear out due to mineral deposits, electrical malfunctions, or general wear and tear. These issues can lead to inadequate water flow, which can affect the performance of both the water dispenser and the ice maker, or cause leaks within the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• Water dispenser not working or having low flow
• Ice maker not producing ice
• Water leaks around the valve area

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

The Icemaker Motor Module is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This module is the heart of the icemaker, responsible for controlling the ice production cycle. It manages the timing, water fill, and ice tray ejection, ensuring that your refrigerator consistently produces and dispenses ice. 

Symptoms of a bad Icemaker Motor Module include:

• The icemaker failing to produce ice,
• Ice cubes not ejecting into the bin,
• The icemaker making unusual noises during operation.

Causes of motor module failure typically involve mechanical wear from continuous use, electrical failures such as short circuits, or water damage affecting the electronic components.

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

The Icemaker Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It includes all the necessary components to replace or install an icemaker in your refrigerator, ensuring you can consistently produce and store ice efficiently

Symptoms of a failing Icemaker Assembly include:

• No ice production or very little ice being made
• Ice cubes that are smaller than normal or misshapen
• Leaking water in the freezer compartment
• Unusual noises during the ice making cycle, such as clicking or buzzing

Causes of a bad icemaker can include issues with the water inlet valve, freezer temperature not being cold enough, or mechanical failures within the icemaker itself, such as a faulty motor or an obstructed fill tube.

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