Whirlpool Ice and Freezer Features
How Whirlpool Ice Makers and Freezers Work
Defrost water leaves through a defrost drain at the bottom back of the freezer, which can clog and let water puddle and leak past the bottom door seal. Source: Whirlpool - Why Is My Refrigerator Leaking Water?
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)
- Ice clumping in the bin. Break up clumps with a plastic utensil, check that nothing blocks the freezer door gasket, clean the bin and confirm the freezer is set near 0°. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Ice Clumping in Ice Bin - 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

Freezer and Ice Maker Notes for Schertz, TX
Most ice maker calls in Schertz 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.
