Whirlpool Refrigerator Ceiling-Mount Ice Maker Assembly

Restore a reliable, automated supply of ice to your French-door or fresh food compartment with this Genuine OEM Ice Maker Assembly. This premium replacement module (Part # W11658802) is specialized for modern configurations where the ice production box is located in the upper left ceiling of the refrigerator compartment rather than the freezer. It houses the 6-cube automated ice mold, integrated 110W mold heater, 12VDC drive motor, and a 3-wire harness with a dedicated plug connector.

Manufactured directly by Whirlpool, this factory-certified module regulates the collection of water from your inlet valve, freezes the cubes solid, and then initiates an automated harvest twist-cycle to drop them down into your lower dispenser storage bin. If your refrigerator is producing no ice, won’t cycle through a harvest mode, leaks water into the ice box liner, or fails its internal electronic diagnostic tests, the internal motor gears or electronic home position sensor have likely failed.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision-engineered for Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, JennAir, Amana, Kenmore, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper refrigerators utilizing a ceiling-mounted ice room.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves “no ice” conditions, jammed harvest cycles, broken or stuck tray ejectors, and ice makers that won’t cycle past the home position.

• Specifications: Integrated 115V 50/60Hz mold heater, 12VDC drive motor, and multi-pin electrical harness extension.

• Difficulty: Intermediate. Accessible DIY repair typically takes 15 to 30 minutes inside the ceiling ice box compartment.

Pro Tip: Because this specific ice maker is tucked into an insulated ceiling compartment inside the warm fresh-food section, it relies heavily on a dedicated ice room fan to channel cold air from the freezer up into the box. If you install this brand-new ice maker and it still refuses to freeze water or make ice, your issue might actually be a failed ice room fan or a faulty optical level emitter board. Running your refrigerator’s onboard diagnostic mode can pinpoint whether it’s the fan or the ice maker module failing to return to its home position.

Installation Steps:

1. Power Isolation: Safely store any perishable food items and completely unplug the refrigerator or turn off the main house circuit breaker before starting.

2. Access the Module: Open the fresh food doors, locate the ceiling ice room housing in the upper left, and unlatch or unscrew the plastic cover shield.

3. Remove the Old Ice Maker: Use a 1/4″ nut driver or Phillips screwdriver to remove the mounting screws. Slide the module out of its tracks and unclip the electrical wire harness plug from the ceiling wall.

4. Install the New Part: Plug the new harness firmly into the ceiling connector, slide the assembly back onto its mounting brackets, and tighten the securing screws before clipping the cover plate back on.

Are you replacing this assembly because it failed a specific diagnostic test code, or has it physically stopped filling with water altogether?
