How Whirlpool Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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.

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
The Whirlpool Ice Maker Test
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
