Know Your Whirlpool Ice Maker
How Whirlpool Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- 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
Testing or Resetting a Whirlpool Ice Maker
If the ice maker has a reset button, press and hold it for a few seconds; if not, unplug the refrigerator for 1 minute and plug it back in. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - How to Turn the Ice Maker On and Off
What Whirlpool Ice and Freezer Codes Mean

Around Plainview
Most ice maker calls in Plainview 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.
