Whirlpool fridge my fidge is only 11/2 yeays old and has stopped making ice

The water fill tubes might be bad with your fridge and there is a problem with the water tubes too which will need to be replaced as well.

3 things
If you have ice on the freezer side.
1. defrost timer not working
2. blower fan failed, if it has one
3. defrost limit switch failed..
i dont think it is #2 but 1 or 3
last but not least your defrost heat coil has failed

If the fridge is only 6 months old It should still be under warranty from the manufacture.

Go to sears.com, select "Parts Direct", enter model number and wait for unit to be displayed, find ice maker part number and price.

there is a shaft from freezer to fridge that the cold air travels. make sure that is unblocked. also make sure the fan is working. then see if the freezer coils are iced up (this restricts air flow). if they are, unplug it, empty the fridge and freezer, defrost the coils, dry it out, plug it in and turn it on (not high). once it reaches the temp and the compressor stops, fill the fridge again.

Frost free fidges are supposed to stay frost free because the automatically defrost regularly. When they do this they may drain water down to the bottom of your fridge. Look for a tray that catches this water underneath the unit. Make sure yo keep it emptied. If you live in a very warm climate you may be getting a lot of humidity inside. There may be a switch that you can change for lower moisture.

there is a way to adjust it but its very difficult..best to just replace it. the thermostat that is.

lift the bar up to shut the maker offf and then turn it bakck on and wait.

Most likely a defrost problem..check the defrost thermostat, timer, heater, fan... if the fan in the freezer compartment running?? sometimes ice will form in the vents...check the easiest things first ..like the vents and drain tubes,,
