What a Whirlpool Technician Deals With

What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
The Whirlpool Ice Maker Test
