Kenmore ice maker model families
Kenmore markets freestanding ice makers under the Whirlpool-built 106-series prefix, plus the automatic icemaker built into a refrigerator. Real models include the freestanding 106.89589702 and 106.89553100, and the refrigerator-integrated water-and-ice system 106.678101.
What the builder means for service
Whirlpool-built 106-series ice makers use Whirlpool’s own inlet-valve and harvest-module architecture. The automatic icemaker built into a refrigerator is a different module, serviced as part of refrigeration work and identified by the host refrigerator’s own model number. Identifying a freestanding unit or an in-refrigerator module tells a technician which inlet valve, harvest module, pump, or drain a repair involves.
Reading the model and servicing it
A freestanding unit carries its model plate inside the door; an in-refrigerator module takes the host refrigerator’s model string. Record the full number before booking. Our experienced, independent technicians service every Kenmore ice maker with genuine OEM parts matched to the actual builder, and because these units carry no fault codes, note the symptom and your model number when you book ice maker repair — repairs start from $89, or from $129 depending on the part, with the final cost depending on parts. Our labor is guaranteed.
