WPW10474785 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Shut-Off Arm

The WPW10474785 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Shut-Off Arm is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement component designed for compatible refrigerator ice makers. This arm 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's ice maker is producing too much ice, failing to stop production, or not operating as expected because of a damaged or missing shut-off arm, replacing this component may restore proper ice-level control. Appliance Kingdom serves customers across Canada with appliance replacement parts and convenient shipping options. Always verify your refrigerator's model number before ordering.

Function & Importance

The ice maker shut-off arm, also called the ice-level arm, helps regulate ice production by detecting when the ice bin has reached its intended fill level. When the bin is full, the arm moves into the shut-off position to stop further ice production.

A correctly functioning arm helps prevent the ice bin from overflowing and supports reliable automatic ice-making operation. Using a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement helps maintain the intended fit and operation of compatible ice maker assemblies.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

Consider inspecting the shut-off arm if you notice any of these issues:

  • Ice maker continues producing ice when the storage bin is full.

  • Ice production does not stop as expected.

  • The shut-off arm is broken, bent, detached, or missing.

  • Ice production is interrupted because the arm cannot move freely into its normal operating position.

These symptoms can also be caused by a faulty ice maker assembly, a jammed ice bin, or another mechanical or electrical issue.

Will Replacing This Part Fix My Problem?

Replacing WPW10474785 can resolve ice-level control problems when the shut-off arm is damaged, missing, or unable to operate correctly. If the ice maker has stopped producing ice for another reason, such as a water supply issue or a failed ice maker assembly, replacing the arm alone may not resolve the problem.

Compatibility Guidance

WPW10474785 is a refrigerator ice maker shut-off arm used in select compatible models from Whirlpool and related appliance brands, including KitchenAid, Maytag, and Kenmore. Compatibility depends on the exact refrigerator model.

Before ordering, locate the complete model number on your refrigerator's identification label and verify that this part is listed for your appliance in an authoritative parts catalogue. Do not rely on brand name alone to confirm compatibility.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement component.

  • Designed to control ice production based on the level of ice in the storage bin.

  • Helps prevent continued ice production when the bin is full.

  • Intended for compatible refrigerator ice maker assemblies.

  • Suitable for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and professional appliance repair technicians.

  • Helps restore the intended operation of the existing ice maker without replacing the entire assembly when only the shut-off arm is defective.

Installation Overview

Replacing the shut-off arm is generally a relatively simple repair for an experienced DIYer. Access typically involves opening the ice maker compartment and carefully removing or repositioning the existing arm.

Before starting, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power and follow the manufacturer's service instructions. Wear protective gloves when working around metal edges or moving components. If the arm is part of a more complex assembly or you are uncertain about the installation, consult a qualified appliance technician.
