Is It Worth Repairing?

Whirlpool refrigerators are built for reliability, and the WRS588FIH series offers good longevity. Ice maker replacement is a common repair that typically extends the appliance’s useful life by many years, making it worthwhile for most units under 12-15 years old.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Refrigerators

• Replace the water filter every 6 months to prevent mineral buildup in the ice maker system
• Clean the ice maker monthly by running a cleaning cycle if your model has one, or manually cleaning accessible components
