W11195669 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Chute

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Chute (W11195669) is a genuine part from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Whirlpool. Compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool refrigerators, this part is integral to the ice dispensing system of your appliance. Sometimes referred to as an ice dispenser chute, it plays a pivotal role in delivering ice from the freezer compartment to the outside of the refrigerator.

The ice chute works in tandem with the refrigerator's control panel, ice maker, a motorized auger, and a dispenser door. When you select your desired type of ice on the control panel, the ice maker is signaled to begin the dispensing process. The auger then pushes the ice towards the chute. The ice travels through the chute and passes through a door that opens and closes to prevent warm air from entering the freezer compartment. The ice then reaches the dispenser on the front of the refrigerator, ready for collection.

If your refrigerator is no longer dispensing ice, or the ice dispenses slowly or in small amounts, it might be an indication that the ice chute is failing.

Before purchasing the Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Chute (W11195669), please ensure to verify the model number of your appliance for compatibility.
