Whirlpool Motor W11170227 OEM Part

The Ice Auger Drive Motor serves as a crucial element in multiple refrigerator models featuring freezer sections, helping propel ice cubes into the dispenser. Should this motor encounter any faults, the dispenser might cease ice release entirely or function inconsistently. Occasionally, the motor could slow its operation or fail to engage when the dispenser lever is activated.

Installing this replacement part is a straightforward process. Prior to installation, it is essential to unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet to ensure safety. Additionally, using protective gloves is recommended to prevent any hand injuries during the procedure.

This Ice Auger Drive Motor is sold individually and can be acquired directly from the manufacturer. It is compatible with several brands under the Whirlpool group, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper, as well as certain models from Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
