Kenmore Ice Maker 106.89482991 (10689482991, 106 89482991) Parts

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

This water reservoir tube routes chilled water from the refrigerator's internal reservoir to the dispenser line. Replacing a brittle, kinked, or cracked tube restores steady flow and helps stop leaks inside the fresh food compartment.

• Carries water between the reservoir and the dispenser supply path
• Maintains a sealed route to reduce internal leaks and air intrusion
• Damage or kinks can cause slow/no dispensing, intermittent flow, or water pooling near the crisper area
• Fresh tubing helps protect shelves and liners from water damage

• Disconnect power and shut off the household water supply before servicing
• Dispense water to relieve line pressure; place a towel/container to catch residual water
• Note original routing; avoid sharp bends and contact with moving or warm components
• Fully seat the tube into quick-connect fittings; tug gently to confirm it's locked
