What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- Ice maker leaking. Confirm the water filter is installed correctly and look for a loose water connection at the back of the unit or the hinge area. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Leaking from the Ice Maker - Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
- 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
What Whirlpool Ice and Freezer Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
