The Ice Maker Wiring Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part ensures electrical connectivity between the ice maker and the refrigerator's power supply, facilitating the various functions required for ice production. The wiring harness is key to the ice maker's operation, transmitting power and sensor signals that govern the ice-making cycle, including water filling, freezing, and ejecting ice into the bin.

Causes of a bad Ice Maker Wiring Harness can include physical damage from overextension or pinching, corrosion due to moisture exposure, and wear over time that leads to electrical failures. 

Symptoms of a bad wiring harness include:

• Ice maker unit not operating or defective icemaking
• Malfunctions and error codes displayed relating to harness faults
• Physical cracks or splits in wires or connectors

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Alumilastic Cement is an essential OEM Replacement Part used in refrigerators. This flexible material serves as an intermediary, transferring heat and cold to the thermostat. The cement is composed of food-biodegradable cement mixed with aluminum particles. The material ensures efficient heat transfer across two touching surfaces inside the appliance.

It is important to note that this adhesive doesn't affect the normal operation of the refrigerator, and it wouldn't cause ice cubes to jam. Before application, ensure that the refrigerator is unplugged for safety reasons. This adhesive is intended to be applied on the mating surfaces of internal components. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions for accurate and safe application.

The Dual Water Inlet Valve, an OEM Replacement Part, is a crucial component that operates Whirlpool refrigerators. It functions as a solenoid-operated switch, releasing water from the supply line into the valve. Then it directs the liquid to the compact icemaker mold and water line. If the icemaker or water dispenser isn't functioning properly, or if there is a leak, it might indicate a restriction in the valve. This necessitates its replacement.

Disassembling the valve for cleaning is not recommended due to the potential risk of failure after the repair. This particular model exhibits a blue/green color and measures approximately 3 inches wide, 5 inches long, and 4 inches thick. It is designed to ensure the optimal functioning of your appliance's water and ice dispensing features.

The Icemaker Shut-Off Arm is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located within the freezer compartment attached to the ice maker assembly, this lever arm activates the shut-off switch to terminate the harvest cycle once the ice bin is full.

Causes relate to cracked or broken lever arms no longer reliably engaging the switch assembly. Mineral scale accumulation may also inhibit smooth operation over time.

Symptoms of a faulty shut-off arm include:

• Ice piling up outside the bin instead of dispensing properly
• The Bin light remaining on indicates a full bin when more ice can still fit
• Excessive ice production drives up energy costs

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.
