Exact questions

Questions that only have an answer for the Whirlpool WRS325SDHZ side-by-side refrigerator

Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.

My Whirlpool WRS325SDHZ dispenser dispenses ice but no water (or vice versa).+

They share a water supply but have separate paths. If ice works but water does not, the water line to the dispenser is likely frozen or the filter is clogged — replace the filter and purge air. If water works but there is no ice, the ice maker itself (switched off, jammed, or its fill tube frozen) or the freezer temperature is the issue. Splitting which one fails narrows it down fast.
