The Ice Auger Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This motor drives the ice auger, which moves ice from the ice bin to the dispenser chute. 

Causes of a bad ice auger motor can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear from regular use, or damage due to ice jams or overloading.  

Symptoms of a bad ice auger motor include:

• The ice dispenser not dispensing ice
• Unusual noises or grinding sounds from the ice dispenser area
• The auger not turning or moving ice
• Intermittent or inconsistent ice dispensing

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

Note: The icemaker does not include the harness or the shut off arm.

This fan motor retainer secures the refrigerator's fan motor to its mounting bracket or shroud, reducing vibration and keeping the fan aligned so air circulates properly for consistent cooling.

• Secures the fan motor to its bracket or shroud
• Maintains proper fan alignment and clearance for consistent airflow
• Helps reduce vibration, buzzing, or rattling from a loose motor
• A worn or missing retainer may present as scraping fan noises or uneven airflow

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing; allow moving parts to stop and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan area per your model
• Transfer the motor into the new retainer and reinstall using existing hardware as required
• Ensure the fan blade spins freely and clears the shroud before restoring power

This cantilever door shelf bin mounts on the refrigerator's inner door rails to hold bottles, jars, and condiments. Replace a cracked or missing bin to restore organized storage and keep items secure and easy to reach.

• Attaches to the door's cantilever mounting rails to support frequently used items
• Allows adjustable placement along the door within designated rail positions
• Helps prevent tipping and spills when opening or closing the door
• Common signs it's time to replace: cracked bin, broken hooks/tabs, won't stay seated, or missing bin

• Remove contents; lift the old bin straight up to disengage from the rails
• Align the new bin's hooks over the door rails and press down until fully seated
• Use only in compatible rail slots; do not force into place
• Handle plastic carefully and avoid overloading initially

Replacement extension that secures or supports a component on select Whirlpool appliances to restore proper fit and alignment. Helps reduce panel or drawer movement and improves smooth operation when a factory extension is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Secures and supports a panel, drawer, or internal component to maintain correct alignment.
• Restores smooth movement and prevents binding or sagging caused by a missing or broken extension.
• Reduces rattling and improves overall fit to help prevent further wear on adjacent parts.
• Works as a direct-fit replacement for the exact OEM extension designed for specific models.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Remove required trim or access panels to reach the mounting area; retain any factory fasteners unless replacement hardware is provided.
• Refer to the appliance's service manual or exploded parts diagram to fit and proper orientation before installing.

This electronic power supply board converts incoming AC power to the low-voltage DC used by the refrigerator's controls and components. Replacing a failed board restores stable power to the UI, fans, lights, and cooling functions.

• Converts line voltage to regulated low-voltage DC for control electronics
• Distributes power to the main control, display, sensors, fans, and valve/relay circuits
• Common signs include a blank or non-responsive control panel, no interior lights or dispenser, intermittent power/clicking, or the unit not running even though the outlet has power
• Failures may follow electrical surges or shorted loads

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing; capacitors may hold a charge
• Use ESD protection and handle the board by its edges
• Photograph/label all connectors; transfer wires one by one and ensure full seating
• Mount securely and inspect for pinched/shorted wires before restoring power

This Arm-Stripper is the factory replacement stripper arm that restores the original part that guides and supports related moving components, helping the appliance operate smoothly and quietly. What it does

• Positions and guides the component it mates with to prevent binding or misalignment.
• Helps maintain proper contact/clearance between moving parts for reliable operation.
• Prevents rubbing or wear that can cause noise or uneven performance.
• Common signs it may be needed: rubbing or scraping noises, part misalignment, or erratic movement where the arm is located.

• One Arm-Stripper replacement part.

• Recommended for users familiar with basic appliance repair; verify power is disconnected before starting.
• Inspect surrounding clips, fasteners and mating parts; replace damaged hardware as needed.
• Handle carefully to avoid bending or damaging the arm during installation.

This 10-16 screw secures panels, brackets, and internal components in your appliance. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a snug fit, reduces vibration and rattling, and keeps parts properly anchored for reliable operation.

• Provides 10-16-thread fastening for sheet metal, plastic, and bracket assemblies
• Direct replacement for a missing, worn, or stripped factory screw
• Helps address loose or rattling panels or covers that won't stay secured
• Supports proper alignment and retention of internal components

• Disconnect power; shut off water and/or gas before servicing
• Match the new screw to the original location and length; replace like-for-like
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver for the head style
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin sheet metal

This genuine OEM return spring restores proper return/tension for the appliance component it connects to, helping controls, latches or hinges snap back into place. Replacing a worn spring can stop sticking, sagging or failed return action. What it does:

• Provides tension to return a lever, latch or door component to its resting position
• Restores crisp return action when a control or hinge feels loose or fails to snap back
• Helps reduce rattling or intermittent contact caused by a weak or broken spring
• Functions quietly once replaced, improving normal operation of the affected mechanism

• Disconnect power and gas before servicing; follow appliance-specific safety instructions
• Springs can be under tension — use proper tools and caution to avoid injury or part damage
• Compare the old spring to the new one for correct length and end type before installation
