Description
Ensure your ice maker produces perfectly separated cubes with the genuine OEM "Whirlpool 4387020 Ice Machine Cutter Grid Wire Kit". This kit includes approximately 10 feet of resistance wire and 8 small screws, which are used to rebuild the cutting grid assembly. The grid wires heat up to slice a slab of ice into individual cubes before they are harvested. A broken wire results in sheets of ice rather than cubes, or no ice at all.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine Whirlpool OEM quality ensures the correct resistance and thermal properties for reliable ice cutting.
- Used to replace broken wires in the cutting grid assembly that separates the ice slab into cubes.
- Each kit contains wire and screws, typically enough for one direction of the grid (two kits needed for full grid replacement).
- Compatible with various Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore commercial and freestanding ice machines.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- The ice maker produces a sheet of ice rather than separated cubes.
- Ice is accumulating uncut in the harvesting area, causing the machine to jam or stop.
- Ice maker fails to produce any ice (often the result of a broken cutting wire heating element).
