{"product_id":"4317943","title":"Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker (4317943)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker is a self-contained assembly that automatically produces and harvests ice cubes by cycling through a fill, freeze, and eject sequence inside your freezer compartment. It controls water intake, monitors ice temperature, and uses a motor-driven ejector arm to release finished cubes into the ice bin below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker can fail due to a burned-out heating element that releases ice from the mold, a faulty thermostat that misreads freezer temperature, or a worn motor that can no longer turn the ejector. Mineral buildup from hard water, power surges, or simple age-related wear can also cause internal components to stop functioning correctly over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook for these symptoms to help determine if the ice maker assembly needs to be replaced:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ice maker produces no ice despite the freezer being at the correct temperature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ice maker stops mid-cycle and does not complete the harvest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Cubes are undersized, misshapen, or stuck together in clumps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ice maker overflows, producing too much ice or running continuously\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Loud clicking, grinding, or humming coming from the ice maker area\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ice bin remains empty even though water supply and shut-off arm are normal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ice has an unusual taste or odor linked to a malfunctioning cycle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Whirlpool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42879001133141,"sku":"4317943","price":118.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/6189\/2437\/files\/whirlpool-refrigerator-ice-maker-4317943.jpg?v=1787302758","url":"https:\/\/homepartsplus.com\/products\/4317943","provider":"Home Parts Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
