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.

What Whirlpool Says to Check First
