Whirlpool Spring W10852956 OEM Part

Whirlpool Corporation produces a diverse array of appliances under its own name and several other brands, such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. It also supplies items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Spring is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component specifically crafted for Whirlpool refrigerators. This essential piece, although small, facilitates the dispensing of cubed or crushed ice via the refrigerator door. Positioned within the ice dispenser mechanism, the spring collaborates with a lever to propel ice through the chute when activated.

A spring may malfunction for a variety of reasons, including standard wear over time, the insertion of large objects into the chute, or damage from forceful operation when dispensing ice.

Indicators of a defective spring include:

- Ice becoming obstructed or not dispensing properly
- Incomplete ejection of ice from the dispenser
- A need for excessive force to engage the dispenser
- Ice being delivered in irregular sizes or clusters instead of as individual pieces

This OEM component is suitable for multiple models, encompassing those manufactured by Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
