{"product_id":"w10916040","title":"Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker (W10916040)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker is the self-contained unit inside your freezer that produces and harvests ice automatically by filling with water, freezing it in a mold, and releasing the cubes into the ice bin below. It uses a heating element to slightly warm the mold, a motor to rotate the ejector blades, and a shutoff arm to stop production when the bin is full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker can stop working correctly due to a failed thermostat, worn motor, cracked mold, or a burned-out heating element that prevents ice from releasing cleanly. Mineral buildup from hard water, a stuck shutoff arm, or a faulty water inlet connection can also cause the unit to slow down or stop making ice entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese symptoms can help you decide if the ice maker is the source of your problem:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ice maker produces no ice despite water supply being connected and freezer temperature being correct\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ice cubes are undersized, misshapen, or clumped together in the bin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ice maker runs constantly and overfills or overflows the bin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ejector arm is visibly stuck, broken, or not rotating through a full cycle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Loud clicking, grinding, or humming coming from the ice maker area\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ice has an unusual taste or odor traced to the ice maker unit itself\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Shutoff arm does not move freely or fails to stop ice production when bin is full\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Whirlpool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46384394993749,"sku":"W10916040","price":211.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/6189\/2437\/files\/whirlpool-refrigerator-ice-maker-w10916040.jpg?v=1792200688","url":"https:\/\/homepartsplus.com\/products\/w10916040","provider":"Home Parts Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
