How to make more ice with my Whirlpool W11517113?
The Whirlpool Ice Maker will produce ice every 2 to 3 hours; it can take up to 72 hours to completely fill the ice bucket. If you need more ice, try adjusting the freezer control to a colder setting.
What to do if my Whirlpool Ice Maker stopped making ice?
First, ensure the bail arm is lowered into the ice bucket and that the water shut-off valve is turned on. If the issue persists, the water shut-off valve or the water valve screen might be clogged.
What to do if water overflows in my Whirlpool W11517113?
If your Whirlpool Ice Maker is overflowing, the refrigerator or the ice maker itself may not be level. If leveling doesn't resolve the issue, turn off the ice maker's water supply at the shut-off valve and raise the ice maker's bail arm to the 'off' position.
Why does my Whirlpool Ice Maker make buzzing or thudding noises?
The sounds you're hearing from your Whirlpool Ice Maker are likely normal. A buzzing sound indicates the water valve is operating, a trickling sound means water is entering the ice maker fill cup, and a thudding sound is the ice being dumped into the ice bin.
Why does the ice from my Whirlpool W11517113 taste stale?
If the ice from your Whirlpool Ice Maker tastes stale, it could be because the ice is old. To resolve this, make a new batch of ice.
