The Ice Level Arm is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an component of the ice maker, responsible for sensing the ice level in the ice bin and controlling the ice production cycle. When the ice bin reaches capacity, the ice level arm signals the ice maker to stop producing ice, ensuring efficient operation.

You should replace this ice level arm if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad ice level arm can include mechanical wear and tear, accidental damage, or issues with the connection to the ice maker mechanism.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Level Arm include:

• Continuous ice production, leading to overfilling
• The ice maker not producing ice even when the bin is empty
• The ice level arm not moving freely or appearing stuck

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

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

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

This cup fill spout directs the dispenser's water stream cleanly into a cup. If the spout is cracked, clogged, or warped, it can cause splashing or persistent drips—replacing it restores a steady, controlled flow.

• Funnels water from the dispenser outlet for a smooth, targeted stream
• Helps reduce splashing and water running down the door
• Can resolve drips after dispensing, erratic spray, or a damaged/missing spout
• Visible cracks, mineral buildup, or deformation are common failure signs

• Unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply
• Open the dispenser area and release the spout from its locking tabs or clips
• Seat the new spout fully; transfer any seals from the old part if applicable
• Restore water and power, then test for proper flow and 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.

• Supports and positions the ice housing/chute assembly in the freezer door
• Helps maintain proper alignment and sealing of the ice door/flapper
• Reduces wobble or flex that can affect dispensing performance
• Typical signs it may be needed: loose or misaligned dispenser housing, ice or air leaking at the chute, frost buildup around the dispenser, inconsistent ice dispensing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/control to access the housing; handle wiring and tabs carefully
• Remove mounting fasteners, replace the support, and transfer any reusable hardware
• Reassemble, restore power, and test ice dispensing and chute seal

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

• 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

This bimetal defrost thermostat controls power to the evaporator defrost heater. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrost cycling, helping prevent ice buildup on the coils and safeguarding the unit from overheating during defrost.

• Senses evaporator coil temperature and opens/closes the defrost heater circuit
• Protects against overheating by cutting heater power when the coil warms
• Works with the control/timer to complete the defrost cycle
