What a Whirlpool Technician Deals With

What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- 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
- Freezer not freezing. Check that nothing is pressed against the vents at the back of the freezer and look for ice buildup blocking them. Source: Whirlpool - 7 Freezer Problems & How to Help Fix Them
