What a Whirlpool Technician Deals With
Some models have ice makers that store ice in the door rather than in the freezer. Source: Whirlpool - Compare Appliances (WRF767SDHZ vs WRX986SIHZ)
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
- 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
- Ice dispenser not working. First confirm whether the ice maker is producing ice at all, and if ice is made but not dropping, unplug the refrigerator for about a minute to reset it. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Not Dispensing Ice - Refrigerator
Reading a Whirlpool Error Code
