Recently purchased a home with a Whirlpool Gold side by side refrigerator. House was empty for 6 months prior. At inspection, inspector turned on icemaker and when he went to dispense ice, water came out first.
Had an appliance tech look at it. He said that happens when the unit has been off for awhile. Said, a piece of ice was stuck in the opening and that allowed warm air in which melts the ice closest to the opening. Said just to make sure ice does not get stuck in the opening and that should solve it.
When we moved in, I thoroughly cleaned and dried the icemaker to make sure no ice was lodged in the mechanism or door. That has not solved the problem.
Each time we go to get ice, we get some water first. The longer between uses, the more the water.
Thoughts????
