Additional Information
The Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly (Part Number: W10882923) by Whirlpool stands as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part, ensuring seamless integration with specific bottom-freezer refrigerator models. This assembly controls the ice-making process by holding the water until a solid freeze, ejecting the ice, and repeating the cycle until the ice bin reaches its capacity.
Included in the kit are two module covers, two wire harnesses, one ice maker, and one shut-off arm, making it comprehensive for effective installation. If ice cubes appear smaller than expected, a new water filter may be necessary. Enhance your refrigerator's performance by using high-quality water filters, which can be conveniently found through this water filter guide. Regular inspection and maintenance of your water filter can optimize ice production efficiency and quality.
This ice maker assembly substitutes previous assembly models WPW10377147 and WPW10377151, maintaining the integrity and efficiency expected from Whirlpool's lineup of refrigerator components.
It took me about a couple hours to install. I found a really good video on youtube watched it, and took pictures. The wiring harness was a bit tricky at times but it all worked out very well.

Perfect Part. Easy to install. Great result.

This was easy to install. It took about 60 mins but I am super cautious and I took my time. Next time would be 30 mins. The hardest task was choosing the correct part as the replacement parts have changed over time. The website and online resources were helpful. The key issue is getting the correct cables and connectors. This kit contained multiple versions of cables Including the one I needed as well as the ice maker.

Sears did well. Good unit.

Received the part a day earlier than expected. It contained the correct ice maker unit and two wire harnesses of which I needed one of them to adapt to this particular unit. Took a little longer than expected to put in as I needed to remove the other wire harness, but it was easy to figure out and it now works! Tried another vendor who took my order and never sent me the unit after over 1 month of waiting. Sears did well.

Excellent part, exceptional service. They were able to get us the part fast. We waited for an appliance repair shop for two months to get the part and finally gave up on them and just ordered the part ourselves.

Review of Whirlpool ice maker
August 18, 2020|Undisclosed, Keller, TX
This comes with two wiring harnesses for multiple applications, so had to determine which to use. Otherwise, this was a straightforward replacement. Part seems to be well made. Looking forward to having ice again.
