Whirlpool Ice Maker Defrost Timer

If you hear the dispenser motor humming but no ice is being pushed out, or if the ice is jammed despite the bucket being full, the auger motor is a likely culprit. It is responsible for physically turning the mechanism that moves ice through the chute.

This part, W10822606, is compatible with a wide range of refrigerators from brands including Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Kenmore, Jenn Air, and Ikea. To be certain, check your refrigerator's model number against the manufacturer's compatibility list before purchasing.

This is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part. It is sourced directly from the manufacturer to ensure the same quality, fit, and performance as the original motor installed in your refrigerator.

Many homeowners with basic DIY experience can replace this motor, but it does require accessing the internal components of your refrigerator door or ice maker assembly. Always unplug the appliance before starting, and refer to your specific service manual for step-by-step instructions.

Safety is critical when working with appliance electronics. Always unplug your refrigerator from the power source before beginning any repairs, and wear protective gloves to guard against sharp metal edges inside the ice maker assembly.
