Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Drive Coupling (Part Number: OEM18020070)

Joellyn

Our ice maker was not pushing ice through the door. My husband realized that a part had broken, so we replaced it. The coupling on the stationary door unit had broken, so we bought replacement part AP3136992. First off, how exactly does it attach to the shaft? Does it simply sit on top? We replaced the coupling by placing it on the shaft and reassembled the unit. Now, the bottom coupling spins when we push the button on the door, but it doesn't seem to connect to the top coupling (on the bottom of the ice container). Do you have any troubleshooting ideas or recommendations? Thank you!

Hello Oliver. If there is power coming to the auger motor, and it does not run, you will need to replace the auger motor.

Kenneth, A couple of things you need to check for. Remove the ice bin (caddy) from the door, and check the drivr motor coupling, it's spring loaded and should move up and down, as you press and release the coupler with your finger. Check and make sure the mounting tabs on the door are not broken or damaged. Flip the ice bin over and check the locking mechanism operation, and make sure the ice bin is snapped and locked in place when you install it back on the door. We'll send you some information that should help you out. Thanks
