How Whirlpool Ice Makers and Freezers Work
The freestanding ice makers need 30 to 120 psi of water pressure, a room above 45°F, and production drops in rooms over 90°F. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Thin, Cloudy or Clumpy Ice - Freestanding Ice Maker
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- Ice maker not making ice. Check that the water line is connected, the valve is fully open and the line is not kinked, confirm the freezer is at 0 to 5°F, then reset the ice maker. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Ice Maker Not Working - Troubleshooting
- 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
Testing or Resetting a Whirlpool Ice Maker
If the ice maker has a reset button, press and hold it for a few seconds; if not, unplug the refrigerator for 1 minute and plug it back in. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - How to Turn the Ice Maker On and Off
