Kenmore Refrigerator 106.54792802 (10654792802, 106 54792802) Ice maker won't dispense ice

The Ice Bin Coupling is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component connects the ice bin to the motor, enabling the transfer of power to dispense ice. The coupling ensures that the ice bin rotates properly, allowing for efficient dispensing of ice cubes through the door.

Causes of a bad ice bin coupling can include wear and tear from regular use, damage due to jamming or overloading the ice bin, and physical impact that might cause cracking or breakage. Maintaining the coupling in good condition is crucial for the smooth operation of the ice dispensing mechanism.

Symptoms of a bad ice bin coupling include:

• The ice dispenser not working or dispensing ice irregularly
• Unusual noises coming from the ice bin area
• The ice bin not rotating as it should
• Difficulty in dispensing ice through the door

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

The Drive Shaft Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It plays a role in preventing water from leaking out of the tub and onto the drive system. This seal ensures that the connection between the drive shaft and the washing machine tub remains watertight, protecting the mechanical components from water damage and corrosion.

Causes of a bad drive shaft seal include aging and deterioration of the material, excessive load sizes that strain the washer, and foreign objects caught between the seal and the shaft, which can lead to tears or breaks.

Symptoms of a bad Drive Shaft Seal include:

• Water leakage from the underside of the washing machine
• Unusual noises during the spin cycle
• A visible tear or damage to the seal itself
• Increased vibration and movement of the machine during operation

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

The Ice Maker Coupler is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It connects the ice maker drive motor to the auger shaft and gear assembly inside the ice storage bin. This allows rotational force to be transferred between components, ensuring efficient ice harvesting and delivery.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker coupler include:

• Slow or inconsistent dispensing of ice
• Improper filling of the storage bin
• Ice that is jammed or dispensed in clumps

Causes can involve normal wear and tear over time that leads to slippage between connected parts. Cracks or fractures in the coupler housing also inhibit smooth transmission of motor power throughout ice vending operations.

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

This top coupling links two drive components in select washers to transfer rotation smoothly. Replacing a worn or stripped coupling restores consistent agitation/spin and can reduce slipping, rattling, or grinding noises from the drive area. What it does:

• Connects mating shafts/components so power is transmitted through the drive system
• Helps maintain alignment and cushions minor shock to protect other parts
• Failure symptoms may include no or weak agitation/spin, intermittent drive, or clicking/grinding sounds
• Visual clues can include cracks, rounded/stripped splines, or excessive play

• One top coupling

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply if moving the appliance
• Access location varies by model; cabinet/top or front panel removal may be required
• Note orientation of flats/splines and seat the coupling fully—do not hammer into place
• Inspect the mating hub/shaft; replace worn companion parts to prevent rapid re-wear

The Icemaker Motor Module is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This module is the heart of the icemaker, responsible for controlling the ice production cycle. It manages the timing, water fill, and ice tray ejection, ensuring that your refrigerator consistently produces and dispenses ice. 

Symptoms of a bad Icemaker Motor Module include:

• The icemaker failing to produce ice,
• Ice cubes not ejecting into the bin,
• The icemaker making unusual noises during operation.

Causes of motor module failure typically involve mechanical wear from continuous use, electrical failures such as short circuits, or water damage affecting the electronic components.

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

The Emitter Cover is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to protect the ice maker's emitter sensor, which plays a crucial role in detecting the level of ice in the ice bin and controlling the ice production process. This cover ensures the sensor operates correctly by shielding it from debris and damage.

Common causes of a bad emitter cover include accidental impacts, wear and tear from regular use, or exposure to moisture.

Symptoms of a bad emitter cover include:

• Inconsistent ice production
• The ice maker not turning off when the bin is full
• Visible damage or cracks on the cover
• The ice maker failing to detect the ice level properly

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