Ice Level Control Arm
This crucial component regulates ice production by halting the icemaker once the storage bin is full. It proves essential when the icemaker either overproduces ice or ceases to function.
The Ice Level Control Arm is integral to the ice maker systems within many appliances produced by Whirlpool, encompassing brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Moreover, Whirlpool supplies parts compatible with certain Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models.
Its operation involves activating a switch to cease ice production once the bin reaches its appropriate capacity. Potential issues associated with this component include physical damage like cracks or breaks, preventing proper switch engagement. Mineral buildup can also impair its effectiveness.
Signs indicating that the Ice Level Control Arm may be faulty include:
- Ice overflowing from or not aligning with the designated area
- Signals indicating a full bin when additional capacity is available
- Elevated ice production, potentially causing increased energy usage
This item is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part from Whirlpool, also fitting select Maytag, Jenn-Air, and certain Kenmore models.
