Description

The Whirlpool latch spring is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing the ice container or bin in place on a refrigerator. Its main function is to provide tension and support to the ice container latch, allowing it to engage and disengage properly. When the ice container is inserted into the refrigerator's ice compartment, the latch spring ensures that it securely locks in place, preventing accidental spillage of ice.

Causes of a bad latch spring can include metal fatigue from repeated use, rust or corrosion from exposure to moisture, or physical damage from accidental impacts.

Symptoms of a bad latch spring include:

  • The ice container not staying in place and sliding out of position
  • Difficulty in properly attaching or detaching the ice container from the refrigerator
  • The ice container feeling loose or wobbly when inside the ice compartment
  • The ice container not aligning correctly with the ice dispenser or auger

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