The Whirlpool W11099790 is a genuine replacement ice maker for select Whirlpool and KitchenAid refrigerators. This is an automated appliance that produces ice cubes for your convenience. When the ice maker gets water from a dedicated water line, it fills a mold with it. Once frozen, a heating source is quickly activated to free the ice from the mold, and a harvester arm ejects the ice cubes into the storage bin. This ice maker is designed to fit particular Whirlpool and KitchenAid bottom-mount refrigerator models. By replacing a faulty ice maker with the W11099790, you can restore your refrigerator's capacity to automatically manufacture fresh ice, ensuring that you always have a supply of cooled cubes on hand for beverages or recipes.
