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'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.
