Product Description

Refrigerator Armshut Specifications

This ice level arm, also known as an ice shutoff arm, is designed to detect the level of ice within the ice bin of your ice maker or refrigerator and turn it off when enough ice has been made. When the ice maker is empty, the arm will be down. When the ice maker is full, the arm will be raised, and over time, wear and tear to the level arm can cause the ice maker to stop making ice completely. To replace this arm, unplug your appliance and remove the ice making assembly, then pull the levelling arm out of the assembly and place the new one. Consisting of a long, angled metal arm and a plastic flap, this level arm is a genuine OEM part that is compatible with a wide-range of refrigerators and icemakers and measures at approximately 9-inches by 4.5-inches.

So far so good!
After watching the video on how to replace the arm-shut I realized I would have to make some adjustments to my replacement plan as my refrigerator is built-in and I can barely get to the ice maker in the freezer to fix it. But I managed to remove the plastic piece from the metal arm (which is the same peice that kept coming off my Kitchenaid) and reattach it to the wire in the ice maker which I could not really see. It seems to be working fine. The Kitchenaid part is very poorly designed, kept coming off just about every time you closed the ice drawer. I think this will work fine.

Easy repair
Repair was easy, but they should make it clear that the replacement Whirlpool ice maker no linger comes with this arm. Very annoying to get new ice maker installed and have to place another order fir this part.

Simple fix
It was easy to identify and order the correct part. The package arrived quickly and installation was simple. While the video showed a more complex installation process, I simply used a cosmetics mirror to see the area the arm needed to be inserted into. All is working well.

Replacement ice maker
I earlier purchased a replacement ice maker for my Kitchen Aid refrigerator. Like so many do it yourself people I took the old unit out and threw it away. When you supplied me with the replacement a few days later, I found out that ishould have kept the shut off arm. So I then had to purchase it separately. That was very inconvenient.

Worked well, but very expensive
The part installed as advertised and is working properly. I am not happy with the high price, but I'm hoping the part will last

After installation, ice maker wouldn't function at all
I took the ice maker out to check things when it wasn't working and I noticed what wasn't visible with the maker installed. The input hose was filled with ice. An ice pick didn't really work so I filled an empty Windex bottle with hot water and sprayed the ice until it was gone. I installed the ice maker again and it's working well.

Ice maker was over producing
Technician at ASK suggested replacing ice maker. Ordered new ice maker(prompt delevery)then noticed it came without wire arm and white platic "flag". Ordered arm and "flag", replaced all old with new and seems to be doing well. Perhaps all I needed was the plastic "flag" on the limit arm wire. Will never know. The new icemaker wiring had short wires and a connector. Old ice maker had no connector so the short wires were removed and the old wires plugged into the ice maker. Mirror was required in order to see the side wall mounting screws. Very narrow work area, tiny freezer side.

broken ice maker
I just followed the instructions that came with the unit, it was very easy. The old ice maker was taken out some time ago, so all I had to do was install the new one. It was three screws and one electrical plug. I removed the ice maker over a year ago and did not replace it at the time. I purchaced new handles also and they were easy to replace. I then decided to try the ice maker, I got tired of buying ice at the store. The order came in just two days right to my front door. It was a very easy fix and now I have a refrigerator full of ice. Thanks for the great service.
