Know Your Whirlpool Ice Maker
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.

What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- Freestanding ice maker making thin or cloudy ice. Check water pressure and the filter, make sure the drain cap is tight on the water pan and run the cleaning cycle. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Thin, Cloudy or Clumpy Ice - Freestanding Ice Maker
- 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
