This icemaker fill cup and bearing assembly directs water from the inlet tube into the ice mold and provides the pivot point for the shutoff arm. Replacing a cracked or missing cup helps stop leaks, misdirected fills, and inconsistent ice production.

• Channels incoming water into the ice mold to prevent splashing and overfilling
• 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

The Motor Coupling is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This coupling connects the ice dispenser motor to the ice dispensing mechanism, allowing the motor to drive the ice auger and dispense ice effectively.

This ice container assembly stores ice in the freezer and feeds it to the dispenser on demand. Replacing a damaged or worn bin restores smooth, consistent ice dispensing and helps prevent jams and poor delivery. What it does:

• Holds and organizes ice in the freezer for dispensing
• Uses the internal auger to move ice toward the chute when dispensing is activated
• Interfaces with the crusher/cube selection in applicable designs
• Common symptoms of failure: no or intermittent ice dispensing, grinding during dispense, jammed ice, or visible cracks/broken tabs on the bin

• Includes: 1 ice container assembly

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the old bin and discard any ice; allow any frost buildup to thaw to avoid forcing parts
• Align the auger drive with the coupling and seat the bin fully before closing the door
• After installation, make fresh ice and discard the first batch

This end cap fits on the front of the ice-bin auger. It secures the auger shaft and blade stack inside the ice container so cubes or crushed ice dispense smoothly and the auger stays properly aligned.

• Secures the front of the auger and blades in the ice bucket
• Maintains auger alignment with the drive for reliable ice dispensing
• Helps prevent jams and rattling in the ice container
• Common symptoms of a failed cap: weak/no ice dispense, loose/wobbly auger, grinding or rattling noises, visible cracks or a missing cap

• Disconnect power and remove the ice bin before servicing
• Note the order of blades, spacers, and washers; take a photo for reassembly
• Replace the cap and reassemble in the original order using existing hardware
• Ensure the bin is fully seated and test dispense after restoring power

This ice container stores the ice your refrigerator makes and interfaces with the dispenser drive so cubes reach the door. Replacing a cracked or worn bin restores smooth, sanitary ice storage and dependable dispensing.

• Holds and organizes ice beneath the icemaker
• Guides cubes to the dispenser drive for cube or crushed delivery on models with a dispenser
• Helps prevent spills and stray ice in the freezer
• Common failure signs: cracked bin, ice not dispensing, clumping/jamming, or frost/shavings around the bucket area

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off power before servicing; empty the old bin
• Slide the bin straight out and clear frost/debris from rails or the mounting area
• Align the drive connection (if present) and fully seat the new container so it sits flush or latches
• Restore power and test the ice dispense function
