Common Whirlpool Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Frost buildup in freezer. Defrost the freezer, and on chest models do it whenever frost reaches about 1/4 inch. Source: Whirlpool - Chest Freezer Owner's Manual (W11531549C)
- 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
Reading a Whirlpool Error Code

What Litchfield Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Litchfield come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
