Whirlpool Ice Maker (W10882923) (Replaces W10377151, WPW10377151)

The Whirlpool Ice Maker produces ice by cycling water into a mold, freezing it, and ejecting the cubes into the storage bin. It works with the refrigerator’s water inlet and internal controls to time the fill, freeze, and harvest steps so ice is made in repeat batches.

Important Compatibility Note: Part number W10882923 is the current manufacturer-approved replacement for the following discontinued part number(s): W10377151, WPW10377151. If your appliance documentation or old part uses any of these numbers, this is the correct, updated component for your repair.

Common causes of failure include a worn motor module or internal gears, a faulty mold heater that cannot release cubes, an internal thermostat or sensor that does not trigger the harvest cycle, or electrical damage from power surges and moisture. Ice production can also stop if the unit stalls mid-cycle or if the ejector mechanism cannot move freely.

If you are troubleshooting an ice-making problem, these symptoms can help you decide if this part matches the failure you are seeing:

• No ice production even though the freezer is cold and the water supply to the refrigerator is on
• Ice maker will not cycle, stalls, or repeatedly stops mid-harvest
• Cubes freeze in the mold and do not eject, or ejector arms do not move
• Only a small amount of ice is made, with long gaps between batches
• Irregular cube size or incomplete cubes tied to poor or inconsistent fills during the cycle
• Clicking, buzzing, or grinding noises coming from the ice maker during attempted cycles
