Whirlpool W11342242 Refrigerator Shut-Off Arm
Product Description
The Whirlpool W11342242 is an essential component of your refrigerator's ice maker system. It functions as a shut-off arm, preventing your ice maker from overfilling the ice bin. This is how it works. As the bin fills with ice cubes, the arm rises to support the increased weight. When the bin reaches capacity, the shut-off arm reaches a predetermined trigger point, physically stopping the ice maker from producing more ice. This prevents overflow and possible water leaks in your freezer. This part works with a wide range of Whirlpool corporation brand refrigerators, including Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and others. A faulty shut-off arm can result in constantly running ice makers and overflowing ice bins. Replace a broken or malfunctioning W11342242 with a genuine OEM part to ensure proper function.
