W11202789 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Auger Motor
W11202789 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Auger Motor
The W11202789 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Auger Motor is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement component designed to drive the ice dispensing mechanism in compatible refrigerators. This motor rotates the auger inside the ice container, moving ice cubes towards the dispenser chute when ice is requested.
If your refrigerator produces ice but fails to dispense it, makes unusual noises during dispensing, or has an unresponsive ice dispenser, replacing a faulty auger motor may resolve the issue. Appliance Kingdom serves customers across Canada with appliance replacement parts and shipping options for convenient ordering.
Function & Importance
The ice dispenser auger motor powers the mechanism that moves stored ice through the refrigerator's dispenser. When you activate the dispenser, the motor drives the auger, allowing ice cubes to travel from the storage container to the dispensing opening.
A correctly functioning motor helps maintain reliable ice dispensing and smooth operation. Using a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement helps ensure the intended fit, electrical specifications, and mechanical performance in compatible refrigerator models.
When the motor fails, the refrigerator may continue making ice normally while being unable to dispense it.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
Consider inspecting the ice dispenser auger motor if you notice any of these symptoms:
-
Ice cubes do not come out when you activate the dispenser.
-
The dispenser makes humming, grinding, or other unusual noises.
-
The ice dispensing mechanism operates intermittently or stops working.
-
The refrigerator has ice in the storage bin, but the motor does not drive the auger.
These symptoms can also be caused by jammed ice, a frozen dispenser mechanism, a damaged auger or coupling, faulty switches, or electrical problems. Confirm that the motor is defective before ordering a replacement.
Compatibility Guidance
