Function & Importance of the Ice Ejector Bar

The ice ejector bar is a mechanical component within the refrigerator's ice maker assembly. It works with the ice maker mechanism to help release formed ice so it can move toward the dispensing system.

When the ejector bar becomes worn, damaged, or unable to engage correctly with the drive mechanism, ice may not eject as intended. Replacing a defective bar with the correct genuine OEM component helps restore the intended mechanical operation of the ice maker.

Using the correct part is important for proper fit, engagement with the drive mechanism, and reliable ice maker operation.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Ice Ejector Bar

A damaged or worn ice ejector bar may contribute to the following refrigerator problems:

• Ice maker produces ice, but the ice is not dispensed properly.

• Ice cubes remain inside the ice maker instead of being ejected.

• Ice dispensing becomes intermittent or stops.

• The ejector mechanism appears worn or damaged during inspection.

• The ice maker's drive mechanism fails to move the ice as intended.

These symptoms can also result from other ice maker or dispenser components. Confirm that the ejector bar is defective before ordering a replacement.

Will Replacing WP2318082 Fix My Refrigerator?

Replacing WP2318082 can resolve an ice ejection or dispensing problem when the original ejector bar is worn, damaged, or no longer engaging properly with the mechanism.

If the ice maker still fails to dispense ice after replacement, the problem may involve another component, such as the ice maker motor, drive mechanism, or dispenser system. Proper diagnosis is recommended to avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.
