Whirlpool Ice Maker Assembly (WPW10251076)

The Whirlpool Ice Maker Assembly makes and releases ice in compatible Whirlpool refrigerators. It fills the ice mold with water, freezes it, and then ejects the cubes into the ice bin. It works with the refrigerator’s water supply and controls to run the ice-making cycle.

Common failures include worn internal motor or gear components, a failed mold heater, faulty cycling contacts, or electrical damage from moisture and corrosion. Ice maker issues can also follow water problems such as low water pressure or a restricted inlet path, which can strain the ice-making cycle and lead to inconsistent operation.

These symptoms can help you decide if this 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 or cycles intermittently
• Cubes are not ejecting, or ice is stuck in the mold
• Small, hollow, or misshapen cubes due to inconsistent fill timing
• Ice production is much slower than normal without other changes in freezer temperature
• Clicking, grinding, or repeated cycling sounds from the ice maker area
