This older Whirlpool-built side-by-side generation carries more dispenser and icemaker hardware than the simpler top-freezer or bottom-freezer models from the same 106-prefix family, which is convenient day to day but adds more individual parts — water valve, dispenser motor, auger — that can each independently need service as the unit ages.
