Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly (W11700250)

Restore a rapid, automated supply of ice to your kitchen with this Genuine OEM Whirlpool Ice Maker Assembly. This premium replacement module (Part # W11700250) replaces and directly upgrades older part numbers W11546935 and W11633658. It manages the entire ice production loop automatically, communicating with your appliance’s water inlet valve, freezing the water into perfectly formed cubes, and initiating a mechanical harvest cycle to drop them directly into your storage bin.

Manufactured directly by Whirlpool, this factory-certified module features an updated internal motor drive and optimized thermostat logic designed to prevent common freezing and binding issues. If your refrigerator has completely stopped making ice, produces hollow or undersized cubes, or refuses to cycle and dump the ice, the internal timing gears or the integrated mold heater have likely failed.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision engineered for Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Amana, and Kenmore refrigerators utilizing standard automatic ice mold systems.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves “no ice” conditions, jammed harvest cycles, leaking water in the freezer compartment, and ice makers that won’t stop producing.

• Upgrade Notice: Directly replaces and supercedes older part numbers W11546935 and W11633658 for improved electrical and structural reliability.

• Difficulty: Novice to Intermediate. A highly accessible DIY repair is typically completed in 15 to 30 minutes.

Pro Tip: If your new ice maker is installed but refuses to dump ice after several hours, check your freezer temperature. These smart assemblies rely on an internal thermostat that will not trigger a harvest cycle unless the freezer cavity safely drops below 10°F (-12°C). If your freezer is running warm (hovering around 15°F to 20°F), your ice maker will sit completely idle even if the part itself is brand new.

Installation & Safety Steps:

1. Isolate Power: You must completely unplug the refrigerator or shut off the main house circuit breaker before starting.

2. Remove the Old Unit: Slide out the ice storage bucket. Unplug the wiring harness clip from the freezer wall connector, remove the mounting screws holding the old assembly frame, and lift it out.

3. Mount the New Assembly: Align the water fill tube at the back with the ice maker’s fill cup, slide the new module onto the mounting hooks, tighten down the screws, and snap the wire harness firmly back into the wall socket.

Are you replacing this assembly because your old module stopped cycling altogether, or did the internal tray split and start leaking water down into your freezer?
