This cutter grid assembly uses heated wires to slice the ice slab into uniform cubes during harvest in clear ice machines. Replacing a damaged grid restores proper cube separation and helps prevent jams caused by uncut ice sheets. What it does:

  • Heats and cuts the ice slab into individual cubes as it passes through the grid
  • A failed or broken grid can leave the ice sheet uncut or in large fused blocks
  • Visible signs can include broken/burned wires or cubes sticking together
What's included:
  • One cutter grid assembly
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing; allow the grid to cool
  • Handle by the frame—do not touch or bend the heating wires
  • Install in the same orientation; transfer existing mounting hardware if required
  • Reconnect the harness securely and route wires away from moving parts

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Cutter Grid Assembly (Clear Ice Machine) (Part Number: OEM18021678)

1 Answer

Randall, The wire on the grid should not break that easily and may be that there is a weak spot where it is breaking. Another thing is if you live in an area with extremely hard water you may want to take out the grid periodically and clean the calcium off the wire as this could cause it to become weak.

Randy, Just a weak wire would most likely cause the cutter grid to break on the unit. Also check to make sure that there is not too much power getting to the grid.

Tim, The most likely cause for the unit to not cut the ice would be a broken cutter grid. The part number of the cutter grid for your unit will be WR29X10073 but you could use cutter grid WP2313637.

Hello Butch. If only part of the grid is working, you will need to replace the grid on the unit.

Hello Dave. The grid cutter should read closed for continuity. If it is good, you will need to replace the transformer WP2310139 in the unit.
