The W11692144 is the current genuine OEM ice maker assembly for Whirlpool-family refrigerators, superseding W11556926, W11322152, W11456887, and W11525253. This is a complete modular ice maker that controls the full ice-making cycle: water fill, freeze, harvest/eject, and shutoff logic via an internal thermostat, sensor, and motor module. The assembly includes the mold body, ejector mechanism, internal motor/module, fill cup, and wiring connector — everything needed for a complete, lasting repair in a single part.

Common ice maker failures include motor/module wear, internal thermostat failure, stripped ejector gearing, heater/harvest issues, or fill-cup freeze-ups. Because the W11692144 is a fully integrated modular assembly, replacing the entire unit is faster and more reliable than attempting to repair individual internal components. Always verify your freezer temperature is at or below -15°C (5°F) before replacing the ice maker — a warm freezer is the leading cause of premature ice maker failure.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

No ice production | Ice maker not cycling or not starting | Cubes stuck in the mold | Intermittent or reduced ice batches | Small, hollow, or misshapen cubes | Ice maker clicking or buzzing without producing ice | Overfilling or underfilling the ice mold | Ice maker arm not moving

✓ Installation Tips

CRITICAL: Disconnect power before beginning this repair. Shut off the water supply if disturbing the fill tube or inlet valve. Repair difficulty: 3/5. Estimated time: 20–50 minutes. Steps: (1) Remove the ice bin and set aside. (2) Remove the ice maker cover/shield (usually 2–3 screws). (3) Disconnect the wiring harness connector. (4) Remove the mounting screws securing the ice maker to the freezer wall (typically 3). (5) Slide the ice maker forward and out. (6) Inspect the fill tube for ice blockage — thaw if needed before installing the new unit. (7) Mount the new ice maker, reconnect the harness, reinstall the cover and bin. (8) Restore power and water. Allow 24 hours for the first full ice production cycle. Important: Verify freezer temperature is ≤15°C (5°F) before and after installation.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between W11692144 and W11556926? The W11692144 is the current OEM part that supersedes W11556926. Both are functionally equivalent for compatible models, but W11692144 is the factory-current version. When in doubt, order W11692144 for the most up-to-date replacement. See our Ice Maker Not Working guide for diagnostic help.

My freezer is cold but the ice maker still won't work — is the ice maker the problem? Not always. Before replacing the ice maker, verify: (1) the water inlet valve is functioning and water pressure is adequate, (2) the fill tube is not frozen, (3) the ice maker arm/sensor is not stuck in the off position, and (4) the wiring harness pins are not corroded. See our Ice Maker Not Making Ice guide for a full diagnostic checklist.

How long does installation take? Most DIYers complete this repair in 20–50 minutes. The ice maker mounts with 3 screws and a single wiring harness connector. See our Ice Maker Not Dispensing Ice guide if the new unit installs but still doesn't dispense.
