Whirlpool Ice Stripper Kit W10297244 OEM Part

Refrigerator Icemaker Replacement Kit

This replacement kit provides a stripper arm and fill cup, which are vital components for restoring ice production and dispensing in your icemaker. It is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators, and it is also suitable for use with Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, and select Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models.

Positioned internally near the evaporator coils, the ice stripper kit features plastic scrapers equipped with springs to manage frost accumulation. These scrapers may become brittle or weaken with regular use over time.

Frequent causes of failure in the ice stripper kit include material degradation from prolonged exposure to cold and the continuous scraping process.

Indicators of a defective kit include:

- Accumulating frost on the evaporator surface
- Scrapers failing to retract completely after operation
- Inability to stop melted frost from refreezing into ice
- Airflow reduction within the cooling system due to coils covered in frost

This component is essential for optimal icemaker performance and is compatible with a wide range of brands affiliated with Whirlpool.
