This Part Fixes These Problems

No Ice Production

Ice maker assembly has stopped producing ice cubes entirely. The motor module or mold heater has failed internally, preventing the harvest cycle from initiating even when the freezer is at the correct temperature.

Ice Not Ejecting

Ice freezes in the mold tray but the ejector rake fails to push cubes out. The motor inside the assembly has seized or the rake mechanism is stripped, leaving cubes stuck in the mold.

Stuck in Fill Mode / Leaking Water

Ice maker continuously calls for water and overflows, causing ice buildup and icicles on freezer shelves. The control module inside the assembly is stuck in the fill cycle and must be replaced.

Misshapen or Undersized Ice Cubes

Cubes come out hollow, crescent-shaped instead of full, or far smaller than normal. The mold heater output has degraded, preventing proper cube formation and release timing.

Ice Maker Cycles Intermittently Then Stops

Unit makes one or two batches of ice then quits for hours. Internal timer or thermal sensor within the assembly module has failed, causing the cycle to abort prematurely.

Product Description

Why Choose Our 2198597 Ice Maker Assembly?

🔧
Built to OEM SpecificationsMatches original Whirlpool 2198597 dimensions exactly — 11-3/8"L × 5-5/8"W × 4-3/4"H — for a plug-and-play fit on 25–27 cu ft side-by-side refrigerators with the ice bucket in the freezer door.
🧊
8-Cube Production CycleProduces 8 radius-shaped ice cubes per cycle, approximately every 1 to 1.5 hours, restoring your household's full ice supply quickly after installation.
🏷️
Wide Cross-Brand CompatibilityDirect replacement for Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Ikea refrigerator models that share the same ice maker platform — one part covers hundreds of models.
💪
Heavy-Duty Rake IncludedComes with a reinforced heavy-duty rake arm and complete wire harness (~10-7/8" length), so you have everything needed for a full assembly swap right out of the box.
⚡
Drop-In Electrical ConnectionPlugs directly into the existing freezer ceiling harness connector — no splicing or rewiring required. The mold heater and motor module are pre-assembled for instant operation.
🛠️
DIY-Friendly in Under 30 MinutesSkilled DIYers report completing this repair in as little as 15–30 minutes using only a Phillips screwdriver and a 1/4" hex socket driver — no special tools required.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Confirm Your Ice Maker — Not the Optics Board — Has Failed

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Refrigerator produces zero ice despite freezer temperature being at or below 0°F

⚠️ Ice maker fills with water but cubes are never ejected / harvested

⚠️ Misshapen, undersized, or hollow ice cubes being produced

⚠️ Water leaks or icicles forming under the ice maker — unit stuck in fill mode

🔍 Quick field test: Open the freezer door. The emitter LED on the right wall should flash. Press the optics flapper on the left wall — the LED should go solid. If it goes solid and you still have no ice, the ice maker assembly itself has failed and needs replacement. If the LED stays flashing with the flapper held down, replace the emitter board (W11629974) instead of this assembly.

Questions & Answers

Does this 2198597 ice maker assembly come with the mounting bracket?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
No — the bottom mounting bracket is not included with the replacement assembly. You must reuse the bracket from your original ice maker. All other hardware, the wire harness, heavy-duty rake, and mounting screws are included in the box.
How do I know if my ice maker assembly is bad or if it's the emitter/receiver optics board?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Open the freezer door — the emitter LED on the right wall should flash. Press and hold the optics flapper on the left wall. If the LED goes solid, the optics are working and your ice maker assembly (2198597) has failed and needs replacement. If the LED keeps flashing even with the flapper held down, the emitter board (W11629974) is the faulty part, not this assembly.
Which refrigerator brands is the 2198597 compatible with?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
This ice maker assembly is compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Ikea side-by-side refrigerators in the 25–27 cubic foot range that have the ice bucket located in the freezer door. Always confirm compatibility by matching your full model number.
How long does it take for the new ice maker to start producing ice after installation?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Allow up to 24 hours for the ice maker to complete its first full cycle after installation. Many customers report ice within 90 minutes to 3 hours. The ice maker produces approximately 8 cubes every 1 to 1.5 hours under normal operating conditions. We recommend discarding the first 2–3 batches.
My ice maker fills with water and freezes but won't eject cubes — will replacing the 2198597 fix this?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Yes, this is a classic symptom of a failed motor module inside the ice maker assembly. If the mold freezes correctly but the ejector rake/tines don't rotate to push the cubes out, the internal motor has failed. Replacing the complete 2198597 assembly is the correct repair. Individual motor components are not sold separately for this unit.
