Whirlpool WPW10169511 Refrigerator Auger Motor Coupler
Product Description
The Whirlpool WPW10169511 is a tiny but significant component underneath your refrigerator's ice dispenser system. This device, which connects the auger motor and auger shaft, is called an auger motor coupler. What drives the ice dispenser in your refrigerator is a spiral-shaped part called the auger shaft, which is spun by the auger motor. Torque, or rotational force, is transferred from the motor to the shaft by the coupler when it operates properly. Crushed or cubed ice may be effectively dispensed through the dispenser chute by the auger thanks to its spinning. Several problems with your ice dispenser, such as uneven or crushed ice cubes, erratic ice distribution, or even total dispenser failure, might be caused by a worn-out or faulty auger motor coupler.
