• Provides the pivot/bearing for the ice level (shutoff) arm
• Helps maintain consistent cube size and reliable icemaker shutoff
• Typical symptoms: water or ice buildup under the icemaker, overfilling or hollow/irregular cubes, or a loose/binding shutoff arm

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin and detach the icemaker to access the side-mounted cup
• Position the new cup directly under the fill tube; secure with existing hardware and verify the shutoff arm pivots freely in the bearing
• Restore power and water; run a test fill and check for leaks

This condenser fan motor spins the fan that moves air across the condenser coils and around the compressor. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores proper heat removal so the cooling system can maintain stable temperatures and run efficiently.

• Drives the condenser fan to move airflow through the condenser section
• Helps dissipate heat from the refrigeration system and cool the compressor
• Failure may present as the condenser fan not running
• May also cause warm temperatures, longer run times, or loud scraping/whirring noises near the rear or bottom of the unit
• Can contribute to the compressor running hot

• Disconnect power before servicing; use gloves to protect from sharp edges

Symptoms of a bad shelf stud include:

• Shelves not staying securely in place
• Shelves tilting or collapsing
• Visible cracks or damage to the stud
• Difficulty in inserting or removing shelves

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