This part is an ice auger gear motor that is used on refrigerators with freezer units. The motor is the component that turns the auger, which in turn pushes the ice cubes out of the dispenser. If the motor fails, the dispenser will not dispense the ice cubes. Some users report the ice dispenser only working intermittently at times. The motor may sound slow or not make any sounds at all when the dispenser is pressed. This part is very easy to replace. Be sure to unplug the refrigerator unit before replacing this part. Some people performing this replacement wish to wear work gloves to protect their hands.This ice auger gear motor is compatible with refrigerators with freezer units that are manufactured by the Whirlpool brand, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper. It is sold individually and is sourced straight from the manufacturer.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Ice Auger Gear Motor (Part Number: OEM18855804)

Aaron for Model Number KSRS25IKSS01

I've got a KitchenAid KSRS25IKSS01 with a 2198594 auger motor. The gears have been stripped in the auger motor and I'm looking for a replacement. Interestingly, when I watch the video, the man in the video is replacing a 2198594 with a 2188869. I noticed the 2188869 came with the mounting bracket because the screw ears are in a different place for the 2198594 and the 2188869, thus requiring a different bracket. When I search for 2198594 this is the replacement that comes up, but it says it's not compatible with our KSRS25IKSS01. The site keeps recommending the WP2212363, however, it doesn't look like that comes with a bracket and on the parts diagram, the bracket is unavailable. Can I get some direction please? Thanks!
