Kenmore / Sears Refrigerator Ice Maker & Related

This ice maker shut-off arm is the wire bail that senses ice level in the bin. It lifts to stop production when full and lowers to restart cycles, helping prevent overfilling and restoring normal, automatic ice making.

• Senses bin ice level and mechanically signals the ice maker to run or stop
• Prevents overfilling by stopping ice production when the arm is raised
• Restores ice making when the arm is lowered after ice is used
• Replacing a bent, missing, or jammed arm can help with "won't stop making ice" or "won't make ice" issues

• Disconnect power before servicing; remove the ice bin for access
• Insert the arm's pivot ends fully into the ice maker head openings; ensure correct orientation
• The arm moves freely without binding, then restore power and lower the arm to resume ice production

The Ice Maker is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for automatically producing batches of ice on demand. The ice maker utilizes water that is piped directly into the unit to freeze into cubes and collect in the ice bucket for storage.

Causes of a bad ice maker include mechanical failures due to wear and tear over time, clogs in the water line, or issues with heating elements. 

Symptoms of a bad icemaker can include:

• Failure to produce ice
• Slow or inconsistent ice production
• Ice cubes that are malformed or fused together
• Strange sounds coming from the ice maker area
• Water leaks around or beneath the icemaker

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