Whirlpool Fridge NOT making ICE? EASY FIX! Model: WRS571CIHZ01 - Side by Side REFRIGERATOR Stainless

Is your Whirlpool Fridge's ice maker no longer making ice? Then hopefully this EASY and FREE fix will get it going for you!

Why are you saying that you have a French Door fridge when you do NOT. Difficult to trust someone who gets an obvious fact so wrong.

​​@@travel0926 The model number is referenced in the title. Even if I called it a "neon green, revolving swing door nano-fridge" the fix would still be relevant to the model number. I just figured the majority of people needing assistance were referencing their fridge by their model numbers. Yea, I called it a "french door" instead of "side by side." My mistake. If you can't process the fact I made a minor mistake, I implore you to watch another video, or even create one of your own. Comment chains (positive or negative) help boost the algorithm for suggesting videos across KZbin. Because of that fact, I don't mind your criticism, but I'm not sure what your end game is? A slight ego boost for correcting someone over something so minor? Bravo, champ 👏 You got me 🤷🏼‍♂️

​@@OctaneSlainDude's wife must have him on edge. Having "trust" issues over a KZbin video 😂😂

[@travel0926]

​@@OctaneSlain who sounds hurt now. Not an ego boost but just pointing out an obvious mistake. The troubleshooting is completely different. A French door style has the ice maker in the warmer fresh food section of the appliance and the side by side that you have has the ice maker installed in the freezer section. That fact that I have to point this out is sad and shows your lack of understanding the rudimentary facts. I searched on French door ice maker as that is what I was searching on as many people do. Would you be so defensive if someone posted a video about 4WD SUV repair but the video was about a FWD Sedan? Would you be afraid to see a mistake you made and instead attack someone else who pointed it out? If this boosts your views, then even better. I am all for what you do trying to help people. Just wanted it to help the correct group of people. Take some constructive criticism, correct your video and move one and continue cashing your engagement checks.

@@travel0926 I fixed the title. And that analogy would only work if someone specifically labeled the video title "Ford Excursion 4WD - Starter Replacement" then recorded a video of an actual Ford Excursion 4WD (and actually replacing the starter,) then mistakenly calling it a Ford Fusion in the video. Same concept: A.) Manufacture and model is in title B.) Titled unit is recorded C.) Titled repair is demonstrated Only mistake is calling the recorded object a different model name of the same manufactured product. At the end of the day you still: A.) Watched the model used B.) Watched how the repair is performed C.) Applied that knowledge to your model A simple mistake in verbiage does not affect the outcome of said repair.

Thank you so much for the instructions. Our icemaker went out over the weekend. I called the warranty folks. No one in. Tried your reprogramming and it worked perfectly. Thank you again for posting this.

Good information. Thanks

[@embrage]

Thank you sir! 🙌🏼

[@dajo2824]

Thanks👏🏼

[@leroygreen1877]

It works!

[@kevinhangman1424]

Excellent advice! Totally worked. Still not sure what “water lawn” has to do with my ice machine…

[@OctaneSlain]

Maybe you should clean out those ears, old man. Need a tutorial on how to use a q-tip as well? "Water line" was said, and multiple times at that. However, I guess it's not unusual for geezers like you to start showing signs of dementia though. Hearing and seeing things that aren't there... Bless it.

[@user-gn3et5si2z]

I have done what you suggested but was wondering how long it takes to defrost and when will I get ice?

[@beatseastscocktails]

Thank you for this video. How long before it starts making ice?

[@OctaneSlain]

About 2 to 3 hours

[@susanmorgan9800]

I was able to do exactly what you said to do. Thanks! How long should it take for ice line to thaw?

[@OctaneSlain]

Around 2 to 3 hours! You should hear the water line hissing soon!

[@shannonschmidt906]

We just did this yesterday but no ice has been started back up. Anything else we should do before we call a tech?

[@OctaneSlain]

Has the fridge made a hissing sound at all? If not, it could be the water feed tube solenoid going bad. You can try to disconnect it and see if water comes out during the icemaker cycle. And while the line is out, try blowing into it. If you can't pass air through it easily, it's got an ice blockage. If the air blows easily, more than likely the solenoid has went bad and needs replaced.

[@MeAndMinesRobinson5]

I have this same fridge and I can’t figure out where the ice maker reset button is and my tray is stuck down

[@OctaneSlain]

These don't have a reset button on them, or none that I was able to find or search online. The tray stuck could be an issue with it being frozen. Can you rotate the tray by hand?

[@Dweebula]

How long until it starts working again?

[@OctaneSlain]

Around 2 to 3 hours. It is a slow process

[@jermainesutton8758]

After the 2-3 hours do you change it back to the previous setting or leave on all?

[@OctaneSlain]

Leave it on long defrost, don't change it back. Sometimes if your power goes out for a long period of time, it'll reset back to auto. You will have to repeat this process and set it back to "long" defrost. Auto mode doesn't do a good job of cycling between defrost modes and let's your water line freeze up

[@tylerleuer6580]

Does this defrost the whole freezer??

[@OctaneSlain]

Just the ice maker

[@vickimontana5676]

Does this defrost your whole freezer

[@OctaneSlain]

Just the ice maker feed line
