What Makes Whirlpool Ice Maker Repairs Different
Some models have ice makers that store ice in the door rather than in the freezer. Source: Whirlpool - Compare Appliances (WRF767SDHZ vs WRX986SIHZ)
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 Symptoms and First Checks
- 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 maker leaking. Confirm the water filter is installed correctly and look for a loose water connection at the back of the unit or the hinge area. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Leaking from the Ice Maker - Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
