Whirlpool manufactures appliances under several brand names, such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and supplies products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The ice dispenser solenoid, part number 67006344, is engineered specifically for refrigerator use.
The primary function of the 67006344 solenoid is to control the deflector mechanism within the ice container, enabling the selection between crushed and cubed ice options.
Prior to installing this solenoid, it is important to properly secure any perishable items, as the refrigerator will need to be disconnected from power. For safety, wear protective gloves during the installation procedure.
