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 Thermistor is an OEM part for Whirlpool Ice Machines. It monitors the temperature within the ice machine and sends readings to the control board to regulate the ice-making process.

Over time, the thermistor can become faulty due to electrical issues, normal wear and tear, or exposure to moisture. If the thermistor fails, it can lead to improper ice production or temperature regulation.

Symptoms of a bad ice machine thermistor include:

• Inconsistent ice production
• Ice machine not making ice at all
• Ice cubes that are too large or too small
• The ice machine running continuously or not cycling properly

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

The Ice Thermistor Assembly is the temperature sensor your refrigerator uses to monitor the ice maker/ice compartment. Accurate readings help the control time harvests and maintain proper ice room temperature, restoring consistent ice production when the sensor fails. What it does

• Senses temperature at the ice maker/ice compartment and reports to the control
• Helps the control time ice harvests and, on some models, manage ice box airflow
• Can address issues like no ice, intermittent/slow ice production, or ice clumping/melting
• Clear a thermistor-related fault noted in service diagnostics

What's included

• One ice thermistor assembly

Install notes

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the ice maker/ice compartment; note original sensor placement and wire routing
• Transfer any clips/insulators if present, connect the new harness, and secure the sensor in the same location
• Restore power and run the unit's ice maker/service test (if available) to operation
