Whirlpool refrigerator repair

I think we have roughly the same fridge. Model number is on the sticker on the right side as you open the door. Filter cover is in the ceiling. There is a tab. You either pull or push lightly to pop the tab cover off. Your expensive ass water filter will then be exposed. I bought one about 2 months ago and changed it after the fridge started beeping for it.
You had to remove a cover to get to the ice right? Did you check the chute to make sure that it is not clogged? Was there a on/off button on the side of the ice machine?
YouTube "Whirlpool refrigerator filter replacement". And find that model number.

Ok is it possible that there is no filter? Tried YouTube but had no results. I don't see a on or off switch besides the lever on the ice maker.
I had one very similar to this. There is a plastic tube that runs from the back of the refrigerator to the ice maker. Check to see if it is frozen closed.
I use to have to take a hair dryer to thaw ir our so the water would fill the ice maker. Mine di not have a filter either.

Exactly why I don't have an ice maker, it aint hard to twist the ice trays. And I know how to repair them. You need a filter for taste. Some that dispense water have them in the fridge or if not, they are inline. I think yours has a plastic tray that rotates the cubes out. Take that cover off the front and you will see 3 gears that rotate and a little plastic spring loaded plunger that goes thru holes in the gears when they line up correctly. I bet the plastic plunger is broke. The repair kit comes with the plunger and the gears......cheap.........
Oh, the solenoid where the water line attaches , back of fridge, may be bad. It is the valve that turns on and off the water.
I doubt this is the problem. If he is not getting water to the tray then the line is blocked or the valve has stopper working. I had replaced the valve and complete ice makers on a couple of refrigerators. They are pretty simple. You can order the parts off the internet. Just takes a screwdriver to replace them. I thing the valve was $20.00 and the Ice maker was about $50.00.
The lever is the switch. Up is off and down is own.
Right that's what I was saying. My old fridge had a off and switch also.
The model number and s/n should be on the sticker inside the refrigerator area or on the door. Call Whirlpool. They will talk you through a filter replacement and probably have a manual that they can email to you. I've had to call them in the past. They're pretty helpful.
