What it usually means when your Whirlpool ice machine is ice small / hollow cubes

Many ice machines show similar symptoms for different reasons — we identify the exact cause during the diagnostic.

When an ice machine stops producing ice, the cause is often water supply restriction, scale buildup, pump failure, or a cooling system issue.

Leaks often come from loose fittings, cracked hoses, drain issues, or pump seal failures.

Noises are often caused by a failing fan motor, water pump issues, loose panels, or compressor vibration.

If the unit runs but won’t cool, it may be a sealed system issue, compressor start failure, or condenser airflow problem.

We service many Whirlpool models — model number optional when booking.
