Whirlpool Icemaker Kit 4317943 OEM Part

Whirlpool is the parent company behind well-known brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. It also produces products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The ice maker assembly, identified as model 4317943, includes an ice mold along with a control system. This unit functions by drawing water from the inlet valve, freezing it within the mold, and then automatically dispensing the formed ice before refilling the mold. This process continues until the ice storage bin reaches its capacity.

Experiencing smaller-than-usual ice cubes may indicate the need for a water filter replacement. The appropriate filter can be sourced [here](https://www.searspartsdirect.com/buying-guide/water-filter-finder).

For installation, ensure the refrigerator is unplugged, and perishable items are stored securely. Wear work gloves to safeguard your hands during the installation process.
