The Micro Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators that is responsible for controlling the ice and water dispenser. The switch operates by responding to mechanical actions, like the pressing of the dispenser paddle or button to open or close to allow water and ice to be dispensed. 

Symptoms of a bad Micro Switch include:

  • The ice or water dispenser not functioning  
  • Intermittent operation of the dispenser 
  • Stuck dispenser preventing ice or water from stopping

Causes of a bad Micro Switch can include physical damage from heavy use, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues such as short circuits that impair the switch's function.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Micro Switch (Part Number: OEM18017667)

1 Answer

Hello. You can test the leads to the motor and see if they are getting power. To do this you will need a multi-meter, and the door switch will need to be closed, and the dispenser arm pressed, all at the same time. If no voltage is present. Check the micro switch and see if it is bad. Thanks.
