The Whirlpool W11658802 Ice Maker is built to fit into the refrigerator and can be used to provide a constant supply of ice. It works through a motorized system that draws water from the refrigerator’s water line and forms it into cubes. After freezing, the ice is expelled out of the container into the storage bin for use by the consumer.
Provides the ice-making assembly required for automatic ice production in refrigerators. The WHIRLPOOL W11658802 Refrigerator Ice Maker forms part of the refrigerator's ice-making system and includes the ice mold and control device. It manages the applicable ice-making cycle from water filling and ice formation through completed ice release.
Ice Freezing Process:
Holds the supplied water in the mold while the water transitions into solid ice. The individual cavities form separate ice pieces as freezing progresses through the ice-making cycle.
Ice Production and Release:
Processes formed ice through the release stage after freezing is complete. The assembly separates the completed ice pieces from the mold so they can move into the refrigerator's ice storage area. This combines ice formation and mechanical ice release within the ice maker assembly.
Replacement Guidelines:
Replacing the Refrigerator Ice Maker is appropriate if it is damaged or no longer performs its intended ice-making operation. Verify part number W11658802 and the complete refrigerator model number before replacement. Replace the ice maker if deterioration affects water filling, ice formation, ice release, or normal ice production.
Common Failure Symptoms:
Ice maker not producing ice.
Little or no ice being produced.
Ice maker failing to complete its ice-making cycle.
Ice remaining in the mold after the release stage.
Ice production becoming inconsistent.
Equipment Compatibility:
The WHIRLPOOL W11658802 Refrigerator Ice Maker is intended for equipment that specifies part number W11658802. Verify the refrigerator model and manufacturer's parts documentation before purchasing to help confirm the correct application.
What maintenance is required for the Whirlpool W11658802 Ice Maker?
Check the ice maker periodically for proper alignment and secure mounting. Remove ice buildup and wipe the tray and surrounding area to prevent sticking. Inspect water connections for tightness and smooth flow. Test the ice production regularly to ensure consistent operation.
What are common issues with the Whirlpool W11658802 Ice Maker?
Ice not producing consistently.
Ice cubes sticking together.
Tray not ejecting ice properly.
Water filling irregularly.
What does the W11658802 ice maker produce?
It produces individual ice pieces from water supplied to the ice mold.
What does the ice mold do in the W11658802?
It holds the supplied water in individual cavities while the water freezes into separate ice pieces.
What does the control device manage?
It coordinates the applicable stages of the ice-making cycle, including water filling, freezing, and ice release.
How are completed ice pieces released?
The ice maker moves the formed ice through its release stage so the pieces can leave the mold and enter the storage area.
What can indicate deterioration of the W11658802?
Failure to produce ice, incomplete ice-making cycles, ice remaining in the mold, or inconsistent ice production can indicate deterioration.
Installation Steps
Step1: Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply.
Step2: Remove the old ice maker by unscrewing the mounting screws.
Step3: Disconnect the water line and wiring harness from the unit.
Step4: Position the new ice maker in place and reconnect wires and water line.
Step5: Secure with mounting screws.
Step6: Restore power and water, then run a test cycle to ensure ice production.
