WPW10606117 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Chute

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Chute (WPW10606117) is a genuine part manufactured by Whirlpool, suitable for various models of Whirlpool refrigerators and other compatible brands. This part, sometimes referred to as the ice dispenser chute, is integral to your appliance's ice dispensing system.

The ice chute's primary role is to facilitate the transfer of ice from the freezer compartment to the external dispenser. When you select your preferred type of ice on the control panel, the ice maker responds by pushing ice towards the chute. It then travels through a door, which opens and closes to maintain the freezer's temperature, before reaching the dispenser.

If your refrigerator is not dispensing ice or the chute door is not closing properly, it may indicate that the ice chute is failing. In such cases, replacing the ice chute could be a necessary step to maintain the functionality of your appliance's ice dispensing system.

Before purchasing, ensure that this part is compatible with your specific refrigerator model. This will help you avoid unnecessary returns or exchanges and ensure that the replacement part fits and functions as intended in your appliance.
