How Whirlpool Ice Makers and Freezers Work
Some models have ice makers that store ice in the door rather than in the freezer. Source: Whirlpool - Compare Appliances (WRF767SDHZ vs WRX986SIHZ)
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.
