Q: How prone to breaking are the ice makers?
submitted by Gail D - 2 years ago
A: This specific machine breaks for everyone it seems. Mine broke within 8 months since purchasing it, and other people who left reviews say theirs lasted anywhere between a few days to only a year.
submitted byihatewhirlpool - 2 years agoA: Mine broke in 6 days. It no longer senses that it's filled with water. And I didn't pay for extended warrantee because it cost the same amount as the unit itself! I feel ripped off all around.
submitted by - 7 months agoA: My first machine failed after about 2 yrs. The part that failed is a gear mechanism which lifts the tray up and opens the release gate to empty the ice into the storage bin. It's a common whichh fail.

Aewr33 - 4 days ago, Verified purchaser
Worked good enough until it didn’t. It made ice fast. Was easy enough to clean. Ice cubes were perfect size but if you didn’t use them within a few hours they melted. Also the Trey didn’t fill completely before hitting the sensor. I wish it would lasted long for the price.

Short Life Span - 17 days ago, Verified purchaser
The ice maker only lasted for about 7 months and now it is not working at all. When we turn it on, it will not make any ice. The internal motor is not coming on and no ice is being made. The unit was loud at times and when the ice was made, it would make a loud banging noise as it fell into the bucket. For the price, you get ice for a few months and then the unit goes out. Not worth buying.

The compressor stopped cooling the unit when used on 06/14. I went to get the ice that was made and the gas/free on (a chemical that is used to to compress and chill components). Leaked compression fluid and burnt/ froze my knuckles.. if I need to get a doctor before I will do so but I'm looking for reimbursement.. please escalate this to your team cuz I'm providing photos of the injury

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Whirpool Icemaker free for my honest review from Influenster. This is very helpful to use filtered water and create ice cubes. I just don't have a lot of counter space but this works very well for my needs. I just wish the ice cubes would be made faster.

Barr - 2 months ago
I got this as a Christmas gift 12/25/2024 it is now 5/18/2025 and it is done. It started building up this red film and ice started tasting like mildew. I turned it off and wiped the inside and sure enough it was milddew. It gets really loud after a while, which is annoying. The ice try stopped working and when its full it keeps making ice and it gets stuck. I would not buy this product.

I am like a previous purchaser and bought this a couple years ago. Mine just failed and it's also the sensor that detects that the bin is full. It was a great ice maker and I loved that it had the option of 2 different sizes. It is terrible that the entire machine needs to be junked so soon and that there aren't replacement parts.

Complete Failure - 4 months ago
This was purchased about two years ago from Target. Very Easy to set up and use. The problem is after a little more than two years of use it has quit. Apparently there is a part that costs about $0.06 that has failed. There is an eye that crosses the bin to let it know that it is full. Well that eye has failed so the machine thinks that the bin is full all the time. The second you turn the machine on it fails. not worth the aggrevation of getting it fixed as the item is less than $200 but I will never purchase one again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set up and make ice. I like that you can use your own water since sometimes ice can taste funky when you don’t get to choose. A bit bulky on your countertop but great for special occasions
Use sparingly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews for this product which impacted how I use this. This is not an ice maker I use for day to day purposes, but rather something I use when hosting. With that in mind, it works exactly the way I need it to. It’s light weight and quiet. I wouldn’t recommend for daily use, but when you need a large amount of ice it’s great!
Broke after less than a year.

I purchased this 6/2024. Today is 2/9/2025 and it no longer works. It will not stop telling me that it needs more water although it is full. Apparently this is a VERY common issue and unfortunately not really fixable. Bummed as it is pretty pricy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received this product for free from Influenster and am very grateful. Our fridge ice machine recently broke, so this machine has been a saving grace. It makes fast, high quality ice bullets in a variety of sizes and even comes with a scooper. However, it’s relativity heavy, takes up counter space, and is loud. Overall it gets the job done, but I likely wouldn’t repurchase it on my own. As for durability I haven’t had any issues thus far, however would like to see how it holds up after an extended period of time. Hopefully this helps!
Amazing machine, soft ice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sturdy and heavy weight ice maker. It feels likes it’s out to do it’s job. AND IT SURE DID! The machine is sleek and not at all noisy. The noise level for what it’s doing is pretty tolerable. It was easy to clean and you can see the drain hole sticker from the picture. I kid you not…this machine made its first batch of ice in 5 mins. So I think the time for each batch is 5-6 mins. Which is amazing! Basket is full in no time. The ice I made was small but there is a setting for large as well. Now let’s talk about the chew test. IT IS SO SOFT!!!!! This will definitely help me out with my ice chewing addiction. Overall it’s a great machine and checks all the right boxes for me. I LOVE IT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you for letting me review this product. I was EXTREMELY HAPPY getting this! I always wanted this to have in my basement since our fridge didn't have an icemaker. This came in handy. First, I love its compact design and portable as well. It is a nice black color and can fit in any space without feeling bulky. It also is easy to use and follow directions. You simply turn on and add water. It was not loud at all and noisy either which I love and doesn't appear that it would use lots of electricity or energy. IIt did not take long at all to make ice and they come out in a perfect size. I will be using this a lot! Thanks again!
