Whirlpool W11566406 Refrigerator Pump Ice Maker
Product Description
The Whirlpool W11566406 is a recirculation pump for the refrigerator ice maker. This small but significant component is critical to your refrigerator's ice producing mechanism. The pump flows water through the ice maker. This is the manner in which it works. Initially, the pump pulls water from the refrigerator's water line. This then pushes the water across a cold evaporator plate. As the water flows across the plate, it freezes into a sheet of ice. Finally, a mold slices the ice sheet into individual cubes, which are delivered by the ice maker. A broken pump can cause a variety of issues with your ice maker, including delayed ice output, oddly shaped ice cubes, or no ice production at all.
