Whirlpool Ice Maker Assembly W10873791 OEM Refrigerator Replacement

Description

Product Overview

The Whirlpool W10873791 ice maker assembly is engineered as a genuine OEM component, matching the exact specifications of the original factory part. Crafted from high‑grade polymer housings and stainless‑steel internal mechanisms, the assembly delivers the durability required for daily ice production cycles. At 1.43 pounds and measuring 7.44 x 14.44 x 7.38 inches, the unit fits seamlessly into the designated compartment of compatible Whirlpool refrigerator models, including WRS571CIHZ, WRS588FIHZ, WRS555SIHZ, KRSC703HPS, and WRS588FIHV. The design incorporates a self‑contained water inlet valve, a freeze‑up sensor, and a motor‑driven ejector arm, all calibrated to produce clear, cube‑shaped ice within minutes of activation. Because the part replaces multiple legacy part numbers—W10760070, W10798411, W10847507, W11130444, and W11646278—stocking this single SKU simplifies inventory management for service technicians and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Usage

Installation of the W10873791 assembly is intended for qualified homeowners or professional appliance repair technicians. The unit is designed for plug‑and‑play integration: disconnect power, remove the old ice maker, align the mounting brackets, and secure the new assembly with the supplied hardware. Once installed, the refrigerator’s built‑in control board automatically detects the new component and initiates a brief calibration cycle, during which the ice maker fills its tray, freezes water, and ejects the first batch of ice. This process typically completes within 30‑45 minutes, after which the user can enjoy a steady supply of ice for beverages, food preservation, or entertaining. The assembly is suitable for everyday household use, office breakrooms, and small‑scale commercial settings where reliable ice production is essential.

Which refrigerator models are compatible with the W10873791 part?

The assembly fits Whirlpool models WRS571CIHZ, WRS588FIHZ, WRS555SIHZ, KRSC703HPS, and WRS588FIHV, as well as any units that originally used part numbers W10760070, W10798411, W10847507, W11130444, or W11646278.

What should I do if the ice maker does not produce ice after installation?

First, verify that the water supply line is properly connected and that the refrigerator’s power is restored. Check the freezer temperature setting (ideally 0°F or –18°C) and ensure the ice maker’s on/off switch is in the “on” position. If ice still does not form, consult the troubleshooting guide in the refrigerator’s user manual or contact Whirlpool customer support for assistance.

Is the one‑year warranty transferable if I sell my refrigerator?

Yes, the warranty is transferable to the new owner, provided the original purchase receipt is available. The new owner can register the part on Whirlpool’s website to activate the warranty coverage.

Can I use this ice maker assembly in a commercial setting?

While the part is designed for residential refrigerators, it can be used in small‑scale commercial environments where the ice production demand does not exceed the capacity of a standard household ice maker.
