The Icemaker Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a comprehensive kit that includes all the necessary components to replace or install a new icemaker in your refrigerator.

Causes of needing a new icemaker kit can include the existing icemaker malfunctioning, producing insufficient or irregular ice, or being damaged due to wear and tear.

Symptoms indicating it's time to replace the icemaker include:

• No ice production or irregular ice cube formation
• Water leaks or excessive condensation around the icemaker area
• Strange noises or grinding sounds during operation
• Error codes or warning lights related to the icemaker

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore refrigerator models. Note: This kit no longer comes with the "shut-off" arms. Order by model if needed.

The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supplies water from the household plumbing to the ice maker, ensuring a consistent and reliable production of ice cubes. This kit includes a 1/4-inch plastic water line that is approximately 72 inches long. The tubing will need to be cut to match the desired length.

Causes of a bad water line can include wear and tear from prolonged use, kinks or bends restricting water flow, or leaks due to punctures or cracks. A compromised water line can result in inadequate ice production or water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Reduced or no ice production
• Leaking water from the refrigerator
• Visible cracks or damage to the water line
• Ice cubes that are smaller than usual

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

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a crucial component responsible for controlling the flow of water into the washing machine tub during the fill cycles.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• Washing machine not filling with water or filling slowly
• Leaks or water drips around the valve or water supply connections
• Improper water temperature mixing, resulting in incorrect wash temperatures
• Error codes or warning lights related to water supply or fill issues

Causes of a faulty water inlet valve can include sediment buildup or obstructions within the valve, mechanical wear and tear, electrical malfunctions, or problems with the solenoid that controls the valve's operation.

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

The Ice Mold is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component forms the ice cubes in the icemaker, shaping the water into cubes as it freezes. The ice mold is crucial for the efficient production of ice, ensuring that each cube is properly formed and easily released into the ice bucket.

You should replace the ice mold if it shows signs of wear or damage. Causes of a bad ice mold can include mineral buildup from hard water, physical damage to the mold surface, or malfunctioning heating elements that prevent ice from releasing properly.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Mold include:

• Ice cubes not forming correctly or being irregular in shape
• Ice cubes sticking to the mold and not dispensing
• The icemaker not producing ice at all
• Leaks around the icemaker area

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

The Ice Maker Control Module is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It acts as the brain of the ice maker, controlling and regulating its various functions to ensure efficient and consistent ice production.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker control module include:

• No ice production or intermittent ice production
• Ice maker not cycling on or off correctly
• Errors or error codes related to the ice maker on the refrigerator's display
• Unusual noises or clicking sounds from the ice maker

Causes of a bad control module can range from electrical issues, such as power surges or voltage fluctuations, to physical damage or wear and tear over time.

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

This evaporator drip pan—also called the drain pan or evaporating tray—collects defrost water from the freezer and allows it to evaporate safely. Replacing a cracked or warped pan helps stop puddles and odors under your refrigerator.

• Collects defrost meltwater and allows it to evaporate using condenser heat/airflow
• Helps prevent water from reaching the floor
• Common symptoms of a bad pan: puddles under or behind the refrigerator, musty odor, visible cracks/warping, or a loose fit
• Restores proper moisture management in the machine compartment

• Unplug the refrigerator and pull it forward to access the rear service area; wear gloves to protect from sharp edges
• Remove the lower back panel; the pan sits near the compressor—slide the old pan out
• Reuse original supports/hardware; ensure the defrost drain tube empties into the new pan and the pan sits level
• Reinstall the panel, restore power, and check for leaks after a defrost cycle

The Fresh food door gasket is an OEM component for Whirlpool refrigerators. As the main door seal, this rubber gasket works to prevent air and moisture exchange between the refrigerator interior and exterior. It plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal freshness levels.

Causes of a bad fresh food door gasket include cracks, tears, or compressed sections that no longer form an airtight seal. Prolonged use of 10+ years can cause rubber to break down. Entering/closing the door carelessly could damage the gasket over time as well. 

Symptoms of a bad fresh food door gasket include:

• Frozen items thawing in the fridge shelves
• Increased moisture inside causing ice/fog buildup 
• Higher electricity bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm air entering when opening the door

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