Refrigerator Not Making Ice? Ice Maker Assembly W11762633 – Fix No-Ice Fast
When your Whirlpool refrigerator stops producing ice, the ice maker assembly is the most common cause. In most Whirlpool-built refrigerators, this is caused by a failed ice maker module or assembly. When it fails, the ice maker stops cycling entirely — no ice is produced, the tray doesn't fill, and the unit may show no error codes at all. ⚡ Common failure point in Whirlpool, Maytag, and KitchenAid refrigerators. Part W11762633 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full automatic ice production and replaces the discontinued W11459724 assembly.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Refrigerator powers on and cools normally
- ✔ Water supply line is connected and water dispenser works
- ✔ Freezer temperature is at or below 0°F / -18°C
- ✔ ONLY problem is no ice production or ice maker not cycling

Check the water inlet valve and ice maker water fill tube while the freezer is open — a partially clogged valve or frozen fill tube is often the root cause of ice maker failure and will cause the new assembly to fail prematurely if not addressed.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: MODERATE — 20–35 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. Remove the ice maker mounting screws and disconnect the wire harness, then slide out the old assembly. Connect the harness to the new W11762633 unit, mount in place, and restore power. Allow 24 hours for the first ice cycle to complete.

💡 Pro Tip
Before replacing the ice maker assembly, confirm the water inlet valve is delivering adequate pressure (minimum 20 PSI). A weak valve will prevent the new ice maker from filling properly. If your dispenser water flow is also slow, replace the inlet valve at the same time to avoid a repeat service call.
