Why has my Whirlpool Ice Maker stopped operating?
- L
  Lori HermanJul 31, 2025
  Several factors can cause your Whirlpool ice maker to stop operating. The ice maker arm might not be in the correct position, so ensure it's down. The electrical power cord may not be properly plugged in, so check the connection to the ice maker and the outlet. Also, the ice maker might not be getting enough water, so verify the water supply is connected and check for kinks in the tubing. Finally, the freezer temperature may be too high; it needs to be between 0 to 2°F (-18 to -17°C) to produce ice. Also, the cubes can be too small because the shutoff valve connecting the refrigerator to the home water line may be clogged. Unclog it. Replace water filter.

What to do if my Whirlpool IC13B Ice Maker is not producing ice?

  If your Whirlpool ice maker isn't producing ice, several issues could be the cause. First, make sure the ice maker arm is in the down position. Check that your household water supply is properly connected to the water valve. Inspect the copper or plastic tubing for any kinks, and if found, turn off the water supply and remove them, replacing the tubing if necessary. Ensure your water pressure is between 20 to 100 PSI, with a minimum of 35 PSI recommended for units with water filters. The freezer temperature should be between 0 to 2°F (-18 to -17°C). Finally, verify that the correct water valve was installed, as self-piercing and 3/16” saddle valves can cause low water pressure and clogging.

Why does my Whirlpool IC13B leak water?

  Sara GibsonAug 9, 2025
  If your Whirlpool ice maker unit is leaking water, it could be due to low water pressure, which can cause the valve to leak. Ensure your water pressure is between 20 to 100 pounds per square inch for proper function. Another cause could be an improperly installed water valve. Self-piercing and 3/16” saddle valves can cause low water pressure and may clog the line over time.

Why is my Whirlpool IC13B Ice Maker not producing enough ice?
- A
  Abigail HernandezAug 13, 2025
  If your Whirlpool ice maker isn't producing enough ice, it could be due to several reasons. If the ice maker was recently installed or a large amount of ice was just used, allow 24 hours for ice production to begin and restock. Low water pressure can also be a factor; it should be between 20 to 100 pounds per square inch, with a minimum of 35 pounds per square inch recommended for units with water filters. A water filter replacement may be needed. Ensure the freezer temperature is between 0 to 2°F (-18 to -17°C). Also, make sure to empty ice cube bucket or trays more frequently. If used infrequently, ice cubes may stick together or shrink.

Why does my Whirlpool IC13B Ice Maker make small or hollow cubes?
- S

  Small or hollow ice cubes from your Whirlpool ice maker can result from water-utilizing devices being in use elsewhere in the house. Try to avoid operating devices such as dishwashers, washing machines, or showers while the ice maker is running. Also, the water filter may need to be replaced.

Why do my Whirlpool Ice Maker cubes have odor or taste?
- J
  Jenna WeaverAug 21, 2025
  If your Whirlpool ice cubes have an odor or taste, it could be because the ice has been stored for too long and absorbed odors; discard the old cubes and use the ice maker regularly. The ice storage bin may need to be emptied and washed. Check for unsealed packages in the refrigerator or freezer compartments that might be transmitting odors. The interior of the refrigerator may also need cleaning.

Why does ice form in the inlet tube of my Whirlpool Ice Maker?
- L
  Laura BennettAug 26, 2025
  Ice forming in the inlet tube of your Whirlpool ice maker can be caused by low water pressure, which leads to valve leakage. Check your water pressure. Also, ensure that the freezer temperature is not too high; it should be between 0 and 2°F (-18 to -17°C). The use of plastic tubing for the water connection can also contribute; copper tubing is recommended for installation.
