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.

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 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 Icemaker Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This thermostat plays a crucial role in the icemaker's operation by monitoring the temperature in the icemaker and ensuring it is at the appropriate level for proper ice production. It reads the temperature to determine when the icemaker should cycle on and off.

Causes of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat can include electrical malfunctions, temperature sensor issues, or wear and tear.

Symptoms of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat may include:

• Inconsistent ice production.
• The icemaker not cycling properly.
• The icemaker not dumping the ice into the ice bin.

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 Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It controls the flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, ensuring a steady supply for both functions.

Causes of a bad inlet valve can include mineral buildup from hard water, wear and tear over time, or electrical failures that prevent the valve from opening or closing properly.

Symptoms of a bad inlet valve include:

• No water or ice production
• Leaks around the valve area
• Low water pressure from the dispenser
• The ice maker not filling with water

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

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.

This ice maker shut-off arm is the wire lever that detects the ice bin level and stops production when raised. Replace a bent, broken, or missing arm to restore reliable on/off control of your icemaker.

• Monitors bin fullness; in the up position it opens the internal switch to pause ice making
• Lowers as ice is used so the icemaker can resume cycles
• Restores manual shutoff when you lift the arm

• Disconnect refrigerator power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin for access; open the icemaker front cover if your model has one
• Pull the old arm straight out of the pivot holes; align and fully seat the new arm so it moves freely
• Restore power and lower the arm to resume ice production; the arm raises and stops production when the bin is full

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption

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