The Ice Dispenser Guide is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool brand refrigerators. These brands also include Maytag, KitchenAid, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore models. It directs ice from the ice bucket to the dispenser chute. It helps to prevent jams by guiding the ice through the dispenser system smoothly and evenly.

You should replace the ice dispenser guide if you notice any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or warping. A damaged dispenser guide can cause ice jams or blockages. This can prevent ice from dispensing properly or create excessive noise or vibration during the dispensing process.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Ice Dispenser Guide (Part Number: OEM18017901)

1 Answer

Hello Marilyn, thank you for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com The only component within this unit that would prevent water being dispensed and the icemaker from making ice is the water valve WP2188542, otherwise the icemaker and water dispenser are fully independent of each other. If there is water to the valve and voltage there when calling for water at the dispenser then the valve would need to be replaced.

Victor, the dispenser drip tray would need to be removed, exposing two screws on the dispenser cover. With the two screws removed, the cover should lift up and out. This will allow access to the ice dispenser guide WP2180224.

Hello Paula. You will need to check and see if the coupling WPW10169511 is cracked or stripped out and not turning the ice bucket. If not, then check for broke parts inside the ice bucket causing the issue.

Hello Sally, To remove the ice guide you will want to take the drip tray out. Use a flat blade screwdriver under the lower part of dispenser cover in the slot and pop cover loose. Once loose you will then take the dispenser bracket out. Once out, on the back side of the dispenser lever are 2 clips that you will push out and over the lever. Once those are loose you will roll the guide out being careful not to break the tab on the bottom. Reassemble in reverse.

Birdie, Yes, your dispenser does use the WP2180224 ice guide. The Guide is a "snap" fit and mounts to the Ice dispenser lever/paddle WP2180259. You need to be careful when you install the guide, don't break the lever. We'll send you some information that may be helpful.

Yes Shirley. You will need to remove the fountian cover. It is a complicated device to install. Is the old one left in there to guide you? You might consider getting a local factory trained technician to assist you. This repair manual part # 677969 will assist as well. Thank you.
