What Makes Whirlpool Ice Maker Repairs Different
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?
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.

What Whirlpool Says to Check First
