Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will
eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the
system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often
you need to clean the system depends upon how hard your water is.
With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may
need to clean the system as often as every 9 months.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard


Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.

Ice Maker Will Not Operate Check that it is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Check that the control is turned on.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Room temperature must be above 55F (13C). Otherwise, bin thermostat may sense cold room temperature
and shut off even though the bin is not full of ice. The ice maker may not restart once it does shut off.
If there was a large amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few minutes for the drain pump to clear. If
there is still water in the bin, check to see whether the drain hose is kinked.
For models with drain pumps, check that the drain hose is not damaged, or kinked or pinched between cabinet
and ice maker. Use only Whirlpool approved drain pump kit, Part Number 1901A.
Ice Maker Seems Noisy Water overflowing the reservoir is normal. This overflow helps to purge minerals that were removed from the
water during the ice making process.
If there is a whooshing sound, check the following things:
Make sure that the water supply is hooked up and turned on.

Make sure that the drain cap is tight and the water drain pan pump is securely attached to the water pan.
If there is ice between the evaporator plate and the cutting grid, check that the ice maker is level. If the ice
maker is level, and the problem persists, run a cleaning cycle.
If the ice maker is connected to a water supply pressure in excess of 60 psi, you may hear a loud sound during
water filling associated with the flow of water through the inlet valve. Call a licensed, qualified plumber to
determine the best method to reduce the supply water pressure (50 psi is recommended).

Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will
eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the
system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often
you need to clean the system depends upon how hard your water is.
With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may

NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Room temperature must be above 55F (13C). Otherwise, bin thermostat may sense cold room temperature
and shut off even though the bin is not full of ice. The ice maker may not restart once it does shut off.
If there was a large amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few minutes for the drain pump to clear. If
there is still water in the bin, check to see whether the drain hose is kinked.
For models with drain pumps, check that the drain hose is not damaged, or kinked or pinched between cabinet
and ice maker. Use only Whirlpool approved drain pump kit, Part Number 1901A.
Ice Maker Seems Noisy Water overflowing the reservoir is normal. This overflow helps to purge minerals that were removed from the
water during the ice making process.
If there is a whooshing sound, check the following things:
Make sure that the water supply is hooked up and turned on.
Make sure that the drain cap is tight and the water drain pan pump is securely attached to the water pan.
If there is ice between the evaporator plate and the cutting grid, check that the ice maker is level. If the ice maker
is level, and the problem persists, run a cleaning cycle.
If the ice maker is connected to a water supply pressure in excess of 60 psi, you may hear a loud sound during
water filling associated with the flow of water through the inlet valve. Call a licensed, qualified plumber to
determine the best method to reduce the supply water pressure (50 psi is recommended).

Ice Maker Operation

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard


Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.

PROBLEM RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS


Ice Maker Will Not Operate Check that it is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Check that the control is turned on.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Room temperature must be above 55F (13C). Otherwise, bin thermostat may sense cold room temperature
and shut off even though the bin is not full of ice. The ice maker may not restart once it does shut off.
If there was a large amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few minutes for the drain pump to clear. If
there is still water in the bin, check to see whether the drain hose is kinked.
For models with drain pumps, check that the drain hose is not damaged, or kinked or pinched between cabinet
and ice maker. Use only Whirlpool approved drain pump kit, Part #1901A.
Ice Maker Seems Noisy Water overflowing the reservoir is normal. This overflow helps to purge minerals that were removed from the
water during the ice making process.
If there is a whooshing sound, check the following things:
Make sure that the water supply is hooked up and turned on.

Make sure that the drain cap is tight and the water drain pan pump is securely attached to the water pan.
If there is ice between the evaporator plate and the cutting grid, check that the ice maker is level. If the ice maker
is level, and the problem persists, run a cleaning cycle.
If the ice maker is connected to a water supply pressure in excess of 60 psi, you may hear a loud sound during
water filling associated with the flow of water through the inlet valve. Call a licensed, qualified plumber to
determine the best method to reduce the supply water pressure (50 psi is recommended).

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard


Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
es Check that the control is turned on.
Check that the water supply is properly connected and turned on.
If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan, and you will have either thin ice or no ice. Tighten
the drain cap.
Clean the drain tube.
Check that there are no kinks in the drain line.
es If the accelerated ice production feature is turned on, this feature increases the ice production rate to provide
you with more ice in the same amount of time.
Room temperatures of more than 90F (32C) will normally reduce ice production.
Dirt or lint may be blocking the airflow through the condenser.
If there is white scale buildup in the ice makers water or freezing system, you should clean the ice maker.
If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan, and you will have either thin ice or no ice. Tighten
the drain cap.
Ensure that the cutter grid is securely in place and that its harness plug is connected.
Check that water filter is properly installed.

RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
or If there is unusually high mineral content in the water supply, the water may need to be treated.
If there is mineral scale buildup, clean your ice maker.
Do not store any foods in the ice bin.
Make sure that all packaging materials were removed at the time of installation.
If there is unusually high mineral content in the water supply, the water may need to be treated.
If there is mineral scale buildup, clean your ice maker.
If there are clumps of ice in the bin and if ice is not used regularly, it will melt and form clumps. Break the clumps
with the ice scoop provided.
