Maytag Ice Machine Parts

The Icemaker Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This thermostat plays a crucial role in the icemaker's operation by monitoring the temperature in the icemaker and ensuring it is at the appropriate level for proper ice production. It reads the temperature to determine when the icemaker should cycle on and off.

Causes of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat can include electrical malfunctions, temperature sensor issues, or wear and tear.

Symptoms of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat may include:

• Inconsistent ice production.
• The icemaker not cycling properly.
• The icemaker not dumping the ice into the ice bin.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Thermistor is an OEM part for Whirlpool Ice Machines. It monitors the temperature within the ice machine and sends readings to the control board to regulate the ice-making process.

Over time, the thermistor can become faulty due to electrical issues, normal wear and tear, or exposure to moisture. If the thermistor fails, it can lead to improper ice production or temperature regulation.

Symptoms of a bad ice machine thermistor include:

• Inconsistent ice production
• Ice machine not making ice at all
• Ice cubes that are too large or too small
• The ice machine running continuously or not cycling properly

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

The Cutting Grid Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ice machines. It cuts sheets of frozen ice into individual cubes, ensuring ice is available in uniform sizes. Each kit contains 8 screws and approximately 10 feet of wire. Two kits are required to replace both directions of the cutting grid to ensure comprehensive restoration of the ice maker’s functionality.

Causes of a bad Cutting Grid Kit can be attributed to mineral deposits buildup, which can obstruct the cutting process, electrical malfunctions affecting the heating element, or physical damage to the grid wires. 

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Cutting Grid Kit are:

• Ice sheets not being cut into cubes
• Accumulation of uncut ice in the bin
• The heating element fails to warm up
• Inconsistent ice cube sizes

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

The Ice Machine Cleaner is an OEM replacement part for use with Whirlpool ice machines. This cleaner plays a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your ice machine, ensuring it continues to produce clear, taste-free, and odorless ice. Formulated to remove scale and mineral build-ups, this solution is essential for the regular maintenance of ice machines, which can suffer from lime scale deposits and other residues that affect ice quality and machine performance.

Symptoms of needing an Ice Machine Cleaner include:

• Reduced ice production efficiency.
• The appearance of scale and mineral deposits within the machine.
• Ice that tastes or smells unusual.
• Increased energy consumption as the machine works harder to produce ice.

Regular use of the Ice Machine Cleaner is vital to prevent the accumulation of minerals and scale that can lead to inefficient cooling and increased energy consumption. 

This water inlet valve regulates the flow of water into the appliance. When the control calls for water it opens; when closed it stops flow. Replacing a faulty valve helps restore proper filling and prevent unwanted leaks. What it does:

• Opens and closes to control the water supply to the system
• Helps maintain correct water flow during fill operations
• Common symptoms of a failing valve: no water enters, slow or intermittent fill, water continues to flow when off, leaks at the valve or connections, or a humming/buzzing sound with little/no water

• 1 water inlet valve

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or container to catch residual water; relieve line pressure
• Reconnect tubing and fittings securely; do not overtighten compression nuts
• Restore water and power, then check all joints for leaks and run a test fill to purge air

The Ice Thermistor Assembly is the temperature sensor your refrigerator uses to monitor the ice maker/ice compartment. Accurate readings help the control time harvests and maintain proper ice room temperature, restoring consistent ice production when the sensor fails. What it does

• Senses temperature at the ice maker/ice compartment and reports to the control
• Helps the control time ice harvests and, on some models, manage ice box airflow
• Can address issues like no ice, intermittent/slow ice production, or ice clumping/melting
• Clear a thermistor-related fault noted in service diagnostics

• One ice thermistor assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the ice maker/ice compartment; note original sensor placement and wire routing
• Transfer any clips/insulators if present, connect the new harness, and secure the sensor in the same location
• Restore power and run the unit's ice maker/service test (if available) to operation

The Overload is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an important component of the refrigerator's compressor system, providing protection against electrical overload.

The overload helps safeguard the compressor from excessive electrical currents, preventing potential damage and ensuring the longevity of the refrigerator. It acts as a safety measure by interrupting the power supply to the compressor when necessary.

Causes of a faulty overload can include power surges, excessive heat, or electrical component failure. These factors can lead to the overload not properly regulating the electrical flow, resulting in compressor issues or the refrigerator not cooling effectively.

Symptoms of a bad overload may include:

• The refrigerator not cooling or maintaining the desired temperature
• Unusual noises coming from the compressor
• The compressor not running at all

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This wire harness connects the ice maker's cutter grid to the appliance's electrical system, supplying power so the heated grid can slice the ice slab into cubes. Replacing a damaged harness helps restore consistent cube separation and production.

• Routes electrical power to the cutter grid/heating wires
• A failed, loose, or heat-damaged harness may prevent the grid from warming
• Common symptoms may include whole sheets or large chunks in the bin, cubes not separating, or intermittent/slow ice production
• Visual signs can include melted/discolored grid connectors or broken/brittle conductors

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the cutter grid to cool completely
• Note wiring/connector orientation; transfer one connection at a time to match original routing
• Seat connectors fully and secure the harness in original clips/standoffs away from sharp edges
• After reassembly, restore power and verify the cutter grid warms during a cycle
