W11559683 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Level Arm
The W11559683 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Level Arm is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed to control ice production in compatible refrigerators. Also known as an ice maker shut-off arm, this component detects the ice level in the storage bin and signals the ice maker to stop producing ice when the bin is full.
If your refrigerator is producing too much ice, overflowing the ice bin, or failing to produce ice because of a defective shut-off arm, replacing this component may restore proper operation. Appliance Kingdom serves customers across Canada with appliance replacement parts and convenient shipping options.
Function & Importance
The ice level arm is part of the refrigerator's ice-making system. As ice accumulates in the storage bin, the arm moves to detect when the bin has reached its intended capacity. It helps stop the ice maker from producing additional ice until more storage space becomes available.
A properly functioning ice level arm helps prevent ice overflow and supports consistent ice maker operation. Using a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement helps maintain the intended fit and operation of the ice maker assembly.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
A faulty, damaged, or improperly positioned ice level arm can contribute to the following problems:
-
Ice maker continues producing ice when the storage bin is full.
-
Ice bin overflows with excess ice.
-
Ice maker stops producing ice because the shut-off arm is stuck or incorrectly positioned.
-
Ice production becomes inconsistent due to a damaged or obstructed arm.
Will replacing this part fix your problem? It can resolve the issue if the ice level arm is defective or unable to move correctly. However, a faulty ice maker assembly, wiring issue, or another refrigerator component may cause similar symptoms. Inspect the mechanism before replacing the part.
