Whirlpool Plate W10837274 OEM Part

Whirlpool Corporation's portfolio encompasses well-known brands like Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Furthermore, Whirlpool produces components for appliances marketed under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea labels. Among these components is the Ice Chute Plate, an OEM part specifically crafted for Whirlpool's side-by-side refrigerators featuring internal automatic icemakers, serving as the essential base for the ice chute assembly.

Several factors can cause an ice chute plate to malfunction. Typical issues include cracks or warping that hinder a proper seal, degraded mounting holes compromising stability, or blockages that interrupt ice flow through the chute assembly.

Indicators of a malfunctioning ice chute plate can include:
- The refrigerator may stop dispensing ice or do so erratically.
- Ice may scatter or accumulate outside the dispenser bucket.
- Unusual noises or vibrations might occur during ice production.
- There may be moisture or water leakage around the icemaker area.

This ice chute plate also fits refrigerators from other brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
