Know Your Whirlpool Ice Maker
How Whirlpool Ice Makers and Freezers Work
Whirlpool's standalone ice makers circulate water over a freezing plate, release the ice sheet onto a cutter grid, drain the mineral-laden water each cycle, and store cubes in an unrefrigerated bin where some melting is normal.

Some models have ice makers that store ice in the door rather than in the freezer. Source: Whirlpool - Compare Appliances (WRF767SDHZ vs WRX986SIHZ)
Common Whirlpool Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Freestanding ice maker making thin or cloudy ice. Check water pressure and the filter, make sure the drain cap is tight on the water pan and run the cleaning cycle. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Thin, Cloudy or Clumpy Ice - Freestanding Ice Maker
- 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
