Whirlpool Ice Maker Assembly Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Whirlpool refrigerator's ice maker assembly controls the entire ice production cycle — from water fill to cube ejection. When this component fails, you'll notice your ice maker not making ice at all, producing too little ice, or leaking water into the freezer compartment. This replacement assembly (part 4317943) fits over 20 Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Kenmore models.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your refrigerator's model number before ordering. You'll find it on a sticker inside the fresh food section — usually on the left or right wall, or along the top. Models like the WRT318FMDB02, WRF560SEHZ, and KSCS25FKSS series all use this exact assembly. Cross-reference your complete model number with the compatibility list below to confirm fitment.

About This Replacement Assembly

The 4317943 ice maker assembly replaces several older Whirlpool part numbers including AP2984633, W10122496, and W10190952. This complete unit includes the motor module, ejector blades, and shutoff arm — everything you need except the wiring harness (which you'll reuse from your old unit). Common failure modes include the ice maker not making any ice despite proper water supply, dispensing inconsistent amounts, or leaking water around the assembly mounting points. The shutoff arm mechanism can also wear out, causing the bin to overfill. Most failures happen after 5-8 years of regular use when internal motor components or the thermostat begin to fail.

Compatible Model Series

This ice maker assembly works across multiple Whirlpool brands. The WRT318 series (top-freezer models), WRF560 series (French door models), and KitchenAid KSCS25 side-by-sides all use identical mounting configurations. Check the full model list below — if your exact model number appears, this part will fit without modification.

What's Included

The assembly arrives as a complete ice maker unit ready to install. You'll get the motor housing, ice mold tray, ejector mechanism, and mounting bracket. The electrical connector clips directly into your existing harness — no wire splicing required. Installation takes about 20 minutes with just a quarter-inch nut driver to remove two mounting screws.

Common Symptoms This Part Fixes

• Ice maker not making ice: Motor runs but no cubes eject, or unit completely dead
• Leaking water: Water drips from assembly or pools in ice bin
• Won't dispense ice: Cubes form but ejector blades don't rotate
• Dispenses too little ice: Partial harvests or small cube production
• Dispenses too much ice: Overfills bin, shutoff arm not working
• Won't start: No power to assembly despite good electrical connection

Installation Overview

Turn off power at the circuit breaker before starting. Remove the ice bin, then unplug the wiring harness. Two screws hold the assembly to the freezer wall — remove these and the old unit lifts right out. Position the new assembly, secure with the mounting screws, reconnect the harness, and restore power. The ice maker will run through a test cycle automatically. First batch of ice typically arrives within 24 hours.

Verify Your Model Number

Before ordering, confirm your refrigerator model number matches one from this compatibility list. The model tag shows the complete number including revision suffix (like the "02" in WRT318FMDB02). That suffix matters — it indicates which production run your unit came from and ensures correct part fitment.
