Whirlpool 2313702 Refrigerator Ice Maker Recirculation Pump

The Whirlpool 2313702 is an indispensable part within your Whirlpool refrigerator, notably functioning as the ice maker recirculation pump. This pump is essential to the ice-making process because it continuously circulates water throughout the ice-maker system. Here is how it works: The pump pulls water from the refrigerator's reservoir and then passes it through a filter to eliminate contaminants. The filtered water is then put into an ice maker mold and frozen into ice cubes. Once the ice cubes have formed, the mold discharges them into the ice bin, and the excess water is drained back into the reservoir. The recirculation pump's constant circulation ensures a stable flow of purified water for ice manufacturing, encouraging efficient ice making and maintaining the quality of your ice.
