Know Your Whirlpool Ice Maker
What a Whirlpool Technician Deals With
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.

Whirlpool Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
