The Icemaker is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is responsible for producing ice automatically in the freezer compartment. It includes the mold that forms the ice cubes and the mechanism that releases them into the ice bucket.
Causes of a bad icemaker can include wear and tear from regular use, mineral buildup from hard water, electrical malfunctions, or damage to the mechanical components. These issues can lead to inefficient ice production or complete failure of the icemaker.
Symptoms of a bad icemaker include:
- No ice production
- Ice cubes being too small or misshapen
- Leaks or water pooling inside the freezer
- Unusual noises during the ice-making cycle
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
