WP2188917 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Auger Motor Drive Shaft

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Auger Motor Drive Shaft (WP2188917) is a genuine part for refrigerators, compatible with Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Thermador brands. It is designed to serve as the drive shaft for the auger motor, facilitating the rotation needed to move ice through the ice container seamlessly. Also known as the "ice auger motor shaft," this critical component ensures the efficient delivery of ice from your refrigerator's ice maker to the dispenser. If your refrigerator's ice maker is underperforming, making unusual noises during ice dispensing, or if the ice is not being moved through the ice container as it should, it might be time to inspect and possibly replace the auger motor drive shaft. Wear work gloves for safe installation and to protect your hands. Before purchasing, kindly verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
