Whirlpool Ice Maker Troubleshooting: Reset, Repair & Maintenance Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

Still need help?

Why isn’t my Whirlpool ice maker making ice?

It could be a clogged water filter, kinked water line, or the shutoff arm being in the "off" position. Check these first, then reset it by pressing the reset button or flipping the arm.

How do I reset my Whirlpool ice maker?

Find the reset button (usually at the bottom of the unit), press it for 5 seconds, or toggle the shutoff arm off and on. Wait 24 hours to see if ice production resumes.

Why does my water dispenser work but not the ice maker?

A blocked filter or faulty water inlet valve might be stopping water from reaching the ice maker. Replace the filter or test the valve—AP Pro in Fairfax, VA, can fix it fast if needed.

What’s the right freezer temperature for my ice maker?

Keep it between 0–5°F (-18 to -15°C). Too warm, and your Whirlpool ice maker won’t produce ice—adjust the settings and check again.

When should I call a pro for my Whirlpool ice maker?

If resets, filter changes, and water line checks don’t work—or if you hear odd noises—call AP Pro Appliance Repair. We offer same-day service in Fairfax, Virginia, to get it running.
