Parts for Kenmore 9873: Icemaker Parts

Replace your refrigerator water filter every 6 months to ensure clean, fresh-tasting water and ice. Easy twist-on installation. Verify fit with your model.

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.

• Provides the correct fastener for locations identified in your model's parts diagram
• Helps prevent looseness, vibration, and rattling of panels or brackets
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are worn, or the screw is missing
• Symptoms can include loose parts, gaps, or noises from movement

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water if working near the ice maker or dispenser
• Match length and type to the original; follow your model's parts diagram for placement
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing, especially into plastic

Fix water splashing or misdirected flow during fill cycles with this fill cup insert. Channels water correctly to prevent leaks. Simple DIY repair.

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.
