The Cutting Grid Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ice machines. It cuts sheets of frozen ice into individual cubes, ensuring ice is available in uniform sizes. Each kit contains 8 screws and approximately 10 feet of wire. Two kits are required to replace both directions of the cutting grid to ensure comprehensive restoration of the ice maker’s functionality.

Causes of a bad Cutting Grid Kit can be attributed to mineral deposits buildup, which can obstruct the cutting process, electrical malfunctions affecting the heating element, or physical damage to the grid wires. 

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Cutting Grid Kit are:

• Ice sheets not being cut into cubes
• Accumulation of uncut ice in the bin
• The heating element fails to warm up
• Inconsistent ice cube sizes

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

The Ice Machine Cleaner is an OEM replacement part for use with Whirlpool ice machines. This cleaner plays a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your ice machine, ensuring it continues to produce clear, taste-free, and odorless ice. Formulated to remove scale and mineral build-ups, this solution is essential for the regular maintenance of ice machines, which can suffer from lime scale deposits and other residues that affect ice quality and machine performance.

Symptoms of needing an Ice Machine Cleaner include:

• Reduced ice production efficiency.
• The appearance of scale and mineral deposits within the machine.
• Ice that tastes or smells unusual.
• Increased energy consumption as the machine works harder to produce ice.

Regular use of the Ice Machine Cleaner is vital to prevent the accumulation of minerals and scale that can lead to inefficient cooling and increased energy consumption. 

This water inlet valve regulates the flow of water into the appliance. When the control calls for water it opens; when closed it stops flow. Replacing a faulty valve helps restore proper filling and prevent unwanted leaks. What it does:

• Opens and closes to control the water supply to the system
• Helps maintain correct water flow during fill operations
• Common symptoms of a failing valve: no water enters, slow or intermittent fill, water continues to flow when off, leaks at the valve or connections, or a humming/buzzing sound with little/no water

• 1 water inlet valve

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or container to catch residual water; relieve line pressure
• Reconnect tubing and fittings securely; do not overtighten compression nuts
• Restore water and power, then check all joints for leaks and run a test fill to purge air

Ice maker not producing ice or overflowing? Failed thermistor prevents proper temperature monitoring. Direct plug-in replacement restores ice production.

If your ice maker stops cooling or the compressor won't run, the overload protector may have failed. This component shields the compressor from damage.

Connects the cutter grid to your ice maker's electrical system. Replace if wires are frayed, damaged, or connections are loose or corroded.

This adjustable leveling leg threads into the appliance base to set height and stabilize the cabinet. Replacing a worn or missing leg helps stop rocking and vibration and helps maintain proper alignment for reliable operation.

• Provides adjustable support at one corner of the appliance
• Helps level the unit for correct alignment with floor or cabinetry
• Reduces rocking, vibration, and rattling noises
• Replaces stripped, bent, cracked, or missing leg

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Carefully support or brace the appliance to access the base safely
• Start the new leg by hand to avoid cross-threading; adjust height gradually
• Use a level to check side-to-side and front-to-back, then recheck after positioning

This spacer maintains the correct distance between mating components in your appliance's assembly so parts align and operate smoothly. Replacing a worn or missing spacer can correct looseness, rubbing, or vibration-related noise.

• Holds a precise gap between parts for proper alignment and motion
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact and premature wear
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, and scraping noises
• Common signs include misalignment, unusual gaps, looseness, or rubbing in the related assembly

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas/water, if applicable) before servicing
• Refer to your model's diagram to locate the spacer's exact location and orientation
• Inspect related fasteners and bushings; replace if worn
• Do not overtighten hardware to avoid deforming the spacer

Secures your ice maker door to the hinge assembly for smooth pivoting. Replace if worn, damaged, or causing door misalignment, rubbing, or sagging.

Color: White. Size: 13 oz. Spray paint primer. can.

Rubber grommet for refrigerators and freezers. Protects wires and components from sharp edges. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing for proper fit.

This ground wire provides a safe chassis connection to restore proper grounding and reduce shock and electrical-fault risk. It replaces a frayed, corroded or missing ground lead to help keep the appliance electrically safe. What it does

• Connects the appliance chassis to the grounding system to prevent stray voltage on metal surfaces
• Restores a secure ground path if the original wire is broken, loose, or corroded
• Helps stop intermittent power faults or nuisance tripping caused by a compromised ground
• Addresses symptoms like visible wire damage, loose ground connection points, or grounding-related electrical issues

• One ground wire

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off the circuit breaker) before starting work
• Attach the ring/terminal ends to the designated chassis ground screw and the equipment ground point
• Route the wire away from moving parts, heating elements, and sharp edges; secure with existing clips or fasteners
• If terminal hardware is missing or damaged, replace with equivalent OEM-style fasteners and torque to specification

This front-and-rear mounting bracket secures the appliance's front and rear assemblies to the cabinet, restoring proper alignment and support. Replacing a worn or damaged bracket helps reduce panel movement, rattling and improper fit. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the appliance's front and rear assemblies to maintain alignment and cabinet integrity.
• Stops or reduces rattling, vibration and shifting caused by loose or broken mounting hardware.
• Prevents gaps and misalignment that can affect doors, panels or controls.
• Fits original mounting locations to restore factory support.

• Bracket (front and rear)

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Use the original fasteners or manufacturer-recommended hardware; do not force or bend the bracket.
• Inspect adjacent mounting points and fasteners for wear; replace any damaged parts.

Replacement mounting bracket for ice makers. Secures interior panels and trim for proper alignment. Needed when brackets are broken, cracked, or missing.
