Whirlpool Ice Maker Assembly (W11424126)

The Whirlpool Ice Maker Assembly makes ice inside the freezer by cycling water into a mold, freezing it, then ejecting the cubes into the bin. It controls the fill, freeze, harvest, and shutoff steps through its internal motor, heater, sensors, and mechanical parts.

Common failures come from wear in the drive motor or gears, a weak or stuck ejector mechanism, a failed mold heater, or internal electrical faults. Ice buildup, age-related cracking, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can also cause parts to bind or stop mid-cycle.

These symptoms can help you decide if replacing the Whirlpool Ice Maker Assembly matches your issue:

• No ice production even though the freezer is cold and the ice maker is turned on

• Ice maker stops mid-cycle, clicks repeatedly, or never ejects cubes

• Cubes form but do not release, or cubes are misshapen from incomplete harvest

• Overfilling or underfilling the mold when the water supply is confirmed good

• Intermittent ice production that works for a short time and then stops

• Ejector arms not moving, moving slowly, or jamming
