Description

This shutoff arm is the replacement shut-off actuator for an automatic ice maker. It stops ice production when the storage bin is full, helping prevent overflow and ensuring the ice maker cycles correctly. What it does:

• Acts as the bin-level sensor that signals the ice maker to stop making ice when the bin is full
• Prevents overfilling and ice spillage by physically blocking the ice maker's harvest cycle
• Commonly replaced when the arm is broken, bent, or fails to hold the "up" (off) position
• Restores normal tank/ice production control when functioning correctly

What's included:

• One ice maker shutoff arm

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• This arm typically snaps or mounts onto the ice maker assembly; handle plastic parts carefully to avoid cracking
• Test operation by manually moving the arm through its travel before reassembling the cabinet or bin
