How Whirlpool Ice Makers and Freezers Work
Whirlpool's standalone ice makers circulate water over a freezing plate, release the ice sheet onto a cutter grid, drain the mineral-laden water each cycle, and store cubes in an unrefrigerated bin where some melting is normal.

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
