Whirlpool, KitchenAid & Maytag Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Whirlpool side-by-side stopped making ice three days before Thanksgiving. You've tried resetting it, checked the water line, even left it unplugged overnight — nothing works. The W10873791 ice maker assembly is the complete replacement unit that fixes the most common ice production failures across Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Kenmore refrigerators. This hub covers compatibility for over 100 models and helps you verify you're ordering the right part.

Is This the Right Ice Maker for Your Refrigerator?

Before ordering, grab your refrigerator's model number. It's usually on a sticker inside the fresh food compartment — look on the left or right wall, just above the top shelf. Some models have it on the ceiling of the fridge section. Write down the complete model number including any letters and numbers after the dash.

The W10873791 assembly works across multiple brands because Whirlpool owns KitchenAid and Maytag. If your model number starts with WRS, WRF, KRSC, KRFF, or is a 10-digit Kenmore number beginning with 106 or 795, there's a strong chance this part fits. Check the compatibility list below to confirm your exact model.

About This Replacement Ice Maker Assembly

This is a complete ice maker unit — you're replacing the entire assembly, not trying to fix individual components inside the old one. It includes the motor, mold, thermostat, and ejector blades all in one piece. The part supersedes several older numbers including AP6026347, W10760070, W10798411, and W11130444, so if you're cross-referencing an old invoice or YouTube video, those all lead here.

The three symptoms that point to needing this assembly: your ice maker completely stopped producing ice (most common), ice won't dispense even though the maker is running, or you're seeing water leaking from the ice maker area into the freezer. If you're getting small or hollow cubes, that's usually a water pressure issue, not the maker itself. But if nothing's happening at all — no noise, no movement, no ice for days — this assembly is your fix.

Compatible Model Series

This ice maker fits French door and side-by-side refrigerators from 2014 to current production. The WRS series (Whirlpool side-by-sides) is the most common application. KitchenAid KRSC and KRFF models use the identical part. Maytag MFI and MFT series also take this assembly. Kenmore models built by Whirlpool — which is most of them — are covered too.

The part costs $80.99 and includes the wire harness connector. You'll reuse your existing mounting bracket in most cases. Installation takes about 20 minutes if you've done it before, maybe 45 if it's your first time. The new maker needs 24 hours to start producing ice after installation — that's normal cycling time, not a problem.
