WPW10474785 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Shut-Off Arm

The Shut-Off Arm (WPW10474785) is a genuine part designed by Whirlpool, compatible with specific refrigerator models from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper. This component, sometimes referred to as the ice maker shut-off arm, plays a crucial role in your refrigerator's ice maker system.

The shut-off arm's function is to control the production of ice. When the ice bin is full, the arm rises and signals the ice maker to stop producing ice, preventing overflow. Conversely, when ice is used and the bin's level drops, the arm lowers, triggering the ice maker to produce more ice. The exact location and function of the shut-off arm may vary based on your specific refrigerator model.

If your refrigerator is overproducing or not producing enough ice, it may be an indication that the shut-off arm is failing. Replacement of this part should rectify these symptoms, ensuring your refrigerator's ice maker operates as intended.

Before purchasing, please verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with the Shut-Off Arm (WPW10474785).
