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: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

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

Ice maker dripping or splashing water? A cracked or clogged fill cup spout disrupts water flow. This direct-fit part restores clean dispensing in under an hour.

Ice cubes stuck in tray and won't eject? This ejector arm pushes ice from the mold into the bin. Simple snap-in install restores ice production.

Ice cubes jamming or hanging up in the ice maker? This stripper arm guides cubes off ejector fingers into the bin. Requires removing ice maker to install.

Mounts in the dispenser to secure the ice housing assembly. Keeps the chute and door aligned for smooth dispensing. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn.

This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Holds the thermostat firmly against the evaporator line for proper temperature feedback
• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

Ice buildup on evaporator coils? A failed defrost thermostat prevents proper defrost cycles. This bimetal sensor restores defrost heating on schedule.

This is a replacement screw fastener used to secure appliance components and panels. It restores proper fastening and helps stop loose parts from vibrating or shifting during operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components in place to maintain appliance stability
• Stops rattling, vibration noise, and intermittent contact caused by loose fasteners
• Restores proper alignment where original screws have stripped, corroded, or been lost
• Functions as a direct-fit hardware replacement when the OEM screw is needed

• One replacement screw (quantity: 1)

• Use appropriate driver and moderate torque to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working on the unit
• Repair or replace the mating component as needed

Mounting screw for refrigerator ice maker assembly. Secures components to maintain structural integrity. Replace if lost, stripped, or corroded.

This ice maker shut-off arm is the wire lever that detects the ice bin level and stops production when raised. Replace a bent, broken, or missing arm to restore reliable on/off control of your icemaker.

• Monitors bin fullness; in the up position it opens the internal switch to pause ice making
• Lowers as ice is used so the icemaker can resume cycles
• Restores manual shutoff when you lift the arm

• Disconnect refrigerator power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin for access; open the icemaker front cover if your model has one
• Pull the old arm straight out of the pivot holes; align and fully seat the new arm so it moves freely
• Restore power and lower the arm to resume ice production; the arm raises and stops production when the bin is full

This wire harness assembly routes power and signals between a unit's controls and components so the appliance operates reliably. It replaces a damaged or burned harness to restore proper electrical connections and safe operation. What it does

• Provides organized wiring paths for power and control signals to motors, switches, and sensors
• Restores lost or intermittent electrical connections caused by frayed, broken, or burned wires
• Helps eliminate symptoms like non-responsive controls, intermittent operation, or components not receiving power
• Maintains factory routing and connector configuration for correct fit and function

• One complete wire harness assembly as shown

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair
• Compare the harness and connector shapes to the original before installing to ensure correct fit
• Route wires following factory clips and channels; avoid pinching or contact with sharp edges or heat sources

Replacement fastener screw for appliances. Secures panels, trim, clips, and components. Needed when original screws are stripped, missing, or damaged.

This icemaker module controls the automatic ice production cycle in your refrigerator's icemaker. It manages the timing of water filling, freezing, and ice harvesting operations. If your icemaker stops making ice, cycles too frequently, or gets stuck in one position, this module likely needs replacement.
