Know Your Whirlpool Ice Maker
What Makes Whirlpool Ice Maker Repairs Different
Whirlpool refrigerator ice makers come in several styles: some are switched on by lowering a wire shutoff arm, others by an on/off switch on the ice maker or the freezer door wall, and digital models through the control panel menu. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - How to Turn the Ice Maker On and Off
Defrost water leaves through a defrost drain at the bottom back of the freezer, which can clog and let water puddle and leak past the bottom door seal. Source: Whirlpool - Why Is My Refrigerator Leaking Water?
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- Frost buildup in freezer. Defrost the freezer, and on chest models do it whenever frost reaches about 1/4 inch. Source: Whirlpool - Chest Freezer Owner's Manual (W11531549C)
- Small or hollow cubes / low ice production. Low water pressure, a kinked line or a clogged or poorly seated filter can all cut flow to the ice maker, and a new install can take about three days to reach full output. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Low Ice Production - Side by Side Refrigerator
Before You Call: The Whirlpool Reset
If the ice maker has a reset button, press and hold it for a few seconds; if not, unplug the refrigerator for 1 minute and plug it back in. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - How to Turn the Ice Maker On and Off
