The Icemaker is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is responsible for producing ice by automatically filling with water, freezing it, and then ejecting the ice cubes into the storage bin. Please note that for installation, you will need to reuse the original cover and bracket from your existing icemaker. Makes 5 cubes at a time.

Causes of a bad icemaker can include mechanical failures, clogged water lines, or electrical issues. Over time, wear and tear from constant use or exposure to hard water and impurities can also affect its performance.

Symptoms of a bad icemaker include:

  • The icemaker not producing ice
  • Ice cubes being smaller than usual or misshapen
  • Leaking water inside the freezer
  • Unusual noises during the ice-making process
  • The ice bin not filling up

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

Michael, For this issue, if the icemaker is leaking at the front then it sounds like the issue will be that the ice mold has started deteriorating and the icemaker would need to be replaced. If the mold is good then this will be a water valve that would need to be replaced.

Larry Woods for Model Number Whirlpool ED2KHAXVT01

I see your instructions here for replacing this. I can remove the 3 1/4" screws fine, and I see that when I do, the ice maker is loose. But it is still "trapped" sitting on a shelf that goes across the freezer, plus the water tube is coming in from the top. It is completely not clear to me how to get the ice maker off of the shelf, which has a lip that prevents me from just pulling the ice maker forward. It looks like the whole shelf should slide out if some magic release button were pressed, but I cannot find any such release. Any ideas?

Larry, On the right side there is a cover that will have a 1/4" nut on in the bottom of it. Remove that screw and pull the cover out from the back. This will allow the icemaker to be removed with the shelf.

Doel, This icemaker WPW10190961 would be the correct icemaker for the unit. You had asked a second question in regards to shipping to Puerto Rico and unfortunately at this time we do not currently ship to Puerto Rico.

Marie, You will want to check the emitter board on the right side wall and see if it is flashing. If it is then push the flapper on the left side wall and see if the light glows solid. If it continues to flash then the emitter board is faulty and would need replaced. The part number for the emitter board will be W11629974.

Dominick, The WPW10190961 / WPW10190961 Ice Maker is the correct part number to order for the Sears/Kenmore Refrigerator model number you supplied. The manufacturer recently revised and updated their part numbers and nomenclatures, the compatibility tool has not been completely updated. The part is isn stock and available at this time. Thanks
