Kenmore Refrigerator 596.66253401 (59666253401, 596 66253401) Parts

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.
