      Cody McguireAug 28, 2025
      If the ice cubes from your Whynter Ice Maker are partially formed and white at the bottom, check if the water supply pressure is below 15 psi. Also, check the water supply to see if the filter may be restricted, and check for a water leak at the water trough. You can also change the ice size thickness to medium or large.
