Symptoms of a bad Cartridge Bypass include:

• Water leakage around the filter area
• Reduced water flow or no water flow from the dispenser
• Ice maker not producing ice

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

This wire cover protects and secures the ice maker wiring and harness inside the freezer, helping prevent snagging or damage for reliable ice maker operation. It's a small replacement panel used where wires route to the ice maker assembly. What it does:

• Shields the ice maker wiring harness from contact, abrasion, and accidental disconnection
• Keeps wiring routed neatly to reduce strain and interference with moving parts
• Helps maintain proper clearance between wires and the ice maker or evaporator fan
• Can resolve symptoms like loose or exposed wiring near the ice maker or visible wire routing damage

• One wire cover for the ice maker wiring harness
