Parts for Maytag JIM158XBCX0: 03 - Pump Parts

The Pump-Recirculating is an OEM part for Whirlpool ice machines. This component is responsible for circulating water over the evaporator plate to form ice, ensuring efficient ice production and consistent quality.

Over time, factors such as mineral buildup, clogging, or mechanical failure can impair the pump’s performance, leading to reduced ice production or complete failure of the ice-making process.

Symptoms of a bad ice machine pump-recirculating include:

• Reduced or no ice production
• Unusual noises coming from the ice machine
• Water leaking or pooling inside the ice machine
• Ice cubes that are smaller or misshapen

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

Size: 8-18 x 5/8 inch.

This bracket is a direct-replacement mounting bracket used to secure components inside the appliance for proper alignment and stable operation. Restoring the bracket helps eliminate loose parts and rattling caused by a broken or missing support. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point for internal components to maintain alignment and reduce movement
• Prevents vibration and noise caused by loose or damaged supports
• Restores proper part positioning that can affect door, panel, or assembly fit
• Compatible with repairs where the original bracket is damaged, cracked, or missing

• One mounting bracket

• Recommended for technicians or experienced DIYers familiar with appliance disassembly
• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Keep track of screws and fasteners during removal; compare new bracket to the old part before installation

This pump wire harness connects the pump motor to the appliance's main wiring and control, ensuring a secure electrical path. Replacing a worn, heat-damaged, or loose harness restores reliable pump operation and helps prevent intermittent failures. What it does:

• Delivers power from the control to the pump motor for proper operation
• Maintains correct connector fit and wire routing at the pump
• Can help fix: pump won't run; no draining or circulation (application-dependent); intermittent operation when wires are moved; visible melted/burned connector
• Replaces brittle, chafed, or shorted wiring that can trip breakers or blow fuses

• One pump wire harness assembly

• Disconnect electrical power; shut off water supply if working near water lines
• Note connector orientation and take photos before removal
• Route the new harness like the original using all clips/retainers; keep away from sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces
• Push connectors straight and fully until they latch; never pull on wires
