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.

Whirlpool Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
Before You Call: The Whirlpool Reset

What Benbrook Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Benbrook 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.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
