Whirlpool WRQA59CNKZ four-door refrigerator ice maker is not making ice

The checks in more detail

In the display, check for an ice maker setting, which may have been turned off, and check the freezer temperature, which must be low for ice, around zero degrees Fahrenheit; if the freezer is warm, ice will not form, so look for a door that is ajar, a blocked vent or an overstuffed compartment. Next the water. The ice maker needs a supply line connected and the valve open, and a kinked line behind the fridge stops the flow. A water filter that is clogged or has not been changed in six months restricts the water, and the dispenser may also be slow;

replace it and run several glasses of water through. If the ice cubes are small or hollow, the filter or the supply is weak. If the fill tube has frozen, there is a block of ice at the fill tube and no water reaches the mold; thaw it with a hair dryer on low, carefully, and check the door seal for air leaks that let moisture in, which cause the freeze-up. If you have just installed the fridge, give the ice maker a day or two, since it takes time to cool and fill; the first batches may be discarded.

A full bin or an ice clump can block the maker, so empty the bin and break up clumps. Some units have a test button on the ice maker, used to start a cycle. Check the manual. A fridge that is level and not pushed against the wall works better. If ice is still not made after a day with a correct temperature, a good water supply and a new filter, the inlet valve or the maker itself may have failed, and a technician can test it; contact Whirlpool with the model and serial number from the label inside.
