This icemaker fill cup and bearing assembly directs water from the inlet tube into the ice mold and provides the pivot point for the shutoff arm. Replacing a cracked or missing cup helps stop leaks, misdirected fills, and inconsistent ice production.

• Channels incoming water into the ice mold to prevent splashing and overfilling
• Provides the pivot/bearing for the ice level (shutoff) arm
• Helps maintain consistent cube size and reliable icemaker shutoff
• Typical symptoms: water or ice buildup under the icemaker, overfilling or hollow/irregular cubes, or a loose/binding shutoff arm

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin and detach the icemaker to access the side-mounted cup
• Position the new cup directly under the fill tube; secure with existing hardware and verify the shutoff arm pivots freely in the bearing
• Restore power and water; run a test fill and check for leaks

• Provides threaded fastening for panels, brackets, covers, or internal components
• Replaces worn, rusted, stripped, or missing hardware
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose parts
• Restores proper alignment and a secure fit of attached parts

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply before service

The Icemaker Fill Tube is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It delivers water to the icemaker, allowing it to produce ice cubes. It is responsible for directing water from the water inlet valve to the icemaker tray, where it freezes into ice cubes.

A bad fill tube can occur due to wear and tear, blockages, or damage. If you notice symptoms such as no ice production, leaking water, or ice cubes with an unusual shape or size, it may be time to replace the fill tube.

Symptoms of a bad fill tube include:

• No ice production or limited ice output
• Leaking water around the icemaker area
• Irregularly shaped or oversized ice cubes

Repair your refrigerator by replacing the faulty or damaged fill tube with this genuine OEM part.

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

This refrigerator ice bucket stores ice made by the icemaker and positions it for dispensing. Replacing a cracked or warped bin restores smooth ice flow and helps prevent jams, spills, and mess inside the freezer.

• Holds and contains ice cubes in the freezer for easy access and dispensing
• Interfaces with the auger/crusher assembly in dispenser-equipped models
• Helps correct issues like ice jamming or inconsistent dispensing caused by a damaged bin
• Addresses visible damage such as cracks, chips, warping, or a bucket that won't seat properly
• Can reduce stray ice or moisture under/around the bin when the original is compromised

• Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the icemaker/water supply before starting
• Remove the old bin; transfer any auger/crusher components from the original if your model uses them
• Seat the new bucket fully so it latches/aligns correctly with the drive
• Restore power and verify proper dispensing operation

Size: 1/4 inch. Nut for plastic water line.

Ice maker water line: 1/4x 8ft.

Color: white. Measures about 1-1/2 inches wide by 7-1/2 inches high by 2 inches deep.

This thermostat is a temperature safety device that opens the circuit if temperatures climb beyond the safe threshold. Replacing a failed thermostat helps protect the appliance from overheating and restores normal heating performance.

• Monitors internal temperature and cuts power if it overheats
• Helps prevent damage to components from excessive heat
• Common failure signs include no heat, intermittent heat, or the unit shutting off on high heat
• Shows continuity when cool and open when tripped

• Disconnect power before service; verify no voltage is present
• Access location varies by model; note wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Mount firmly against the intended surface for proper sensing
• After replacement, verify airflow/venting and clear lint/debris to avoid repeat trips

This electrically actuated valve controls the flow of household water into your appliance during operation. Replacing a sticking or leaking valve restores proper fill performance and helps prevent unwanted dripping between cycles. What it does:

• Opens and closes to admit the correct amount of water at the right time
• Helps maintain stable water pressure and shutoff to the unit
• Common symptoms of a failing valve: no fill, slow/insufficient fill, water seeping into the tub when off, or leaks from the valve body
• May buzz or hum without allowing water flow when the internal coil or screen has failed or is clogged

• 1 water inlet valve

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Keep towels or a tray handy; some residual water will drain
• Note hose and wire orientations; transfer any brackets or fittings from the original valve
• After installation, restore water and power, check for leaks, and run a test fill cycle

This speed clip is a small retainer that slides over a panel edge to provide a captive thread for a screw. Replacing a worn or missing clip restores a tight, rattle-free hold on the attached component. What it does:

• Slides over a panel or bracket to create a captive thread for a mounting screw
• Maintains tension to resist vibration and loosening
• Helps when a screw spins or won't tighten due to a missing retainer
• Addresses loose, rattling, or misaligned panels or trim

• 1 speed clip

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Note the original clip's location and orientation for correct fit
• Fully seat the clip on the edge; start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten; ensure the component is secure and noise-free

This small insert slides into the end of plastic water tubing to reinforce it for a compression-style connection. It helps create a secure, leak-resistant seal at valves and couplings on appliance water lines.

• Supports the tubing wall so the ferrule and compression nut can tighten without collapsing the tube
• Helps prevent drips or seepage at the connection point
• Useful when the tubing end is cracked, deformed, or won't hold a tight seal
• Common symptoms include leaks at a fitting, a connection that won't stay tight, or restricted flow from a pinched tube end

• Shut off the water supply and disconnect power before servicing
• Cut the tubing square; remove any damaged section and deburr the edge
• Slide the compression nut and ferrule onto the tube, fully seat the insert, then assemble the fitting—do not overtighten
• Restore water and check all connections for leaks
