Description

The Icemaker Fill Cup Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators. Located inside the icemaker assembly, the fill cup sensor works to automatically detect when an ice scoop or bucket is in place below the icemaker chute. It signals the icemaker to drop ice cubes into the receptacle below.

Causes of a bad fill cup sensor can include mineral or dirt build-up inhibiting sensor response, moisture damage to its electronic functioning, or physical damage to the sensor head.

Symptoms of a bad fill cup sensor include:

• Ice failing to dispense or drop when a container is in place
• Ice clumping in the chute instead of dispensing properly  
• The icemaker continuing to run even with ice present below
• Inability to sense when ice is removed from the bucket

This OEM Whirlpool replacement fill cup sensor is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators.
