Parts for Whirlpool WRS346FIAM00: 05 - Motor And Ice Container Parts

This upper ice bin holds ice and engages the auger/crusher assembly for dispensing from the freezer. Replacing a cracked or worn bin restores smooth cubed or crushed ice delivery and reduces jams and spills. What it does:

• Holds and feeds ice to the auger/crusher for dispensing through the door
• Aligns and supports the auger drive and crusher components
• Helps maintain proper ice flow and dispensing performance
• Common symptoms: ice won't dispense or crush, bin won't seat/latch, visible cracks or broken tabs, unusual grinding from the bin area

• One upper ice bin

• Disconnect power before servicing; remove the ice bucket from the freezer
• Empty remaining ice and transfer any reusable internal components from the old bin to the new bin as required by your model
• Ensure the auger drive yoke engages and the bin seats fully before restoring power
• Handle carefully; overtightening fasteners can crack the new bin

Replacement rubber boot that seals the washer's drive/transmission shaft where it passes through the tub, helping to reduce leaks and keep grease and water separated for cleaner operation and longer seal life. What it does:

• Helps seal the shaft opening between the tub and drive/transmission to reduce water escaping from the washer base.
• Replaces boots that are cracked, torn, hardened or missing—which are common causes of leaks and grease migration.
• Common symptoms: water pooling under the washer, visible tears or gaps at the tub seam, or grease and debris collecting around the shaft.
• Durable rubber construction resists wear from shaft movement and detergent exposure.

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before beginning any repair.
• Drain the washer and access the shaft area by removing panels/outer tub.
• Inspect nearby seals, gaskets and fasteners while replacing the boot; replace any damaged components to ensure a proper seal.

The Drive Shaft Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It plays a role in preventing water from leaking out of the tub and onto the drive system. This seal ensures that the connection between the drive shaft and the washing machine tub remains watertight, protecting the mechanical components from water damage and corrosion.

Causes of a bad drive shaft seal include aging and deterioration of the material, excessive load sizes that strain the washer, and foreign objects caught between the seal and the shaft, which can lead to tears or breaks.

Symptoms of a bad Drive Shaft Seal include:

• Water leakage from the underside of the washing machine
• Unusual noises during the spin cycle
• A visible tear or damage to the seal itself
• Increased vibration and movement of the machine during operation

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 replacement screw secures panels, brackets, and internal components within your appliance. Replacing a missing or damaged fastener restores a tight fit, reduces vibration and noise, and helps keep parts properly aligned during operation.

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets, or internal components to the chassis
• Maintains proper alignment and stability during normal use
• Replaces missing, rusted, or stripped hardware
• Common symptoms: loose or rattling panels, vibration, difficulty fastening, or a visibly missing screw

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply
• Match length and thread to the original; replace one-for-one in the same location
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• If the receiving hole is stripped, repair threads or replace the clip/nut before installing

The Auger Drive Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for powering the auger mechanism that dispenses ice from the ice maker into the ice bucket or directly through the door dispenser. This motor ensures that ice is delivered smoothly and efficiently whenever needed.

Over time, the auger drive motor can wear out or fail due to constant use or electrical issues. Causes of a bad auger drive motor can include motor burnout, electrical malfunctions, or damage from ice buildup.

Symptoms of a bad auger drive motor include:

• The ice dispenser not dispensing ice
• Unusual noises coming from the ice maker area
• The auger not turning or moving slowly
• Intermittent operation of the ice dispenser

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