Whirlpool WRS586FLDM00 refrigerator Parts

The “best” side-by-side refrigerator is the one that fits your kitchen cutout, holds temperature steadily, and has features you will actually use. For Whirlpool owners, the best choice is usually a simpler side-by-side with proven cooling and a straightforward ice and water system; use the WRS586FLDM00 owner’s manual to confirm fit, ventilation clearances, and setup requirements.

• Fit and ventilation: Plan for about 1/2 inch clearance on each side and at the top, and 1 inch behind for airflow.
• Door swing clearance: If installed next to a fixed wall, allow about 2 inches minimum on the hinge side so doors open fully.
• Kitchen opening width: Many standard side-by-sides need a 36-inch minimum cabinet cutout width.
• Ice and water design: In-door dispensers are convenient but add valves, switches, and moving parts.
• Serviceability: Choose a model with readily available parts and clear troubleshooting steps.

We recommend judging “best” by performance and maintainability. If you are troubleshooting ice or water issues, common service parts include the refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10341320 (feeds water to the dispenser and ice maker) and the refrigerator ice maker assembly WPW10251076 (produces ice). Always unplug power and shut off the water supply before service.

Side-by-sides are often chosen for narrow door swing and easy freezer access. Getting the clearances right (airflow, wall spacing, and cabinet width) prevents warm temperatures, noisy operation, and door alignment complaints.

For your Whirlpool WRS586FLDM00 side-by-side refrigerator, the simplest way to find cubic feet (capacity) is to look for the model/serial label inside the refrigerator compartment; it commonly lists capacity. If it is not shown, we can estimate cubic feet by measuring the interior and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.

Check these common spots inside the fresh food (refrigerator) section:

• Side wall near the crisper drawers
• Side wall near the top shelf
• Ceiling area near the light housing
• Behind the crisper drawers (sometimes visible when drawers are removed)

The WRS586FLDM00 owner’s manual confirms the model and serial label is located on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment, which is the same place capacity information is often printed.

If the label does not list capacity, estimate it using interior measurements.

Steps

• Empty the compartment enough to measure accurately.
• Measure interior width, height, and depth in inches.
• Multiply: width × height × depth = cubic inches.
• Divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet.

Most full-size side-by-side refrigerators are typically about 20 to 28 cubic feet total capacity. Your exact number depends on cabinet size and how much space is taken up by the ice maker, air ducts, and shelving.

Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right refrigerator parts and accessories (like bins, drawers, and ice maker components) and it also helps when comparing replacement models or planning kitchen space.

When your Whirlpool WRS586FLDM00 dispenses water but won’t make ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being turned off, restricted water flow to the ice maker (kinked line or partially closed shutoff), or the freezer not staying cold enough for ice production. Use the WRS586FLDM00 owner’s manual to confirm ice maker settings and the “Ice and water” checks.

• Confirm the ice maker is turned on (some models have an on/off switch or arm).
• Make sure the household shutoff valve is fully open.
• Inspect the water supply line behind the refrigerator for a kink and straighten it.
• If this is a new install or the water line was recently serviced, flush the water system and wait.
• Verify the freezer is cold enough; most side-by-side units need about 0°F to 5°F for reliable ice making.
• Check for ice jammed in the ejector area and clear it if present.

If you just connected water, replaced a filter, or restored power, ice production is not immediate.

If the freezer is cold and the ice maker is on, but the mold never fills or cubes are small or hollow, water flow to the ice maker can still be the issue.

• A failing inlet valve can limit flow to the ice maker even if the dispenser seems OK.
• For this model, a common replacement is the refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10341320.

Ice makers are more sensitive to water flow and temperature than the dispenser. A slightly restricted supply line or a freezer running a few degrees warm can stop ice production while the water dispenser still works.

On the Whirlpool WRS586FLDM00 side-by-side refrigerator, the practical “reset” is cycling the ice maker OFF and back ON using the built-in control (switch or wire shutoff arm). This restarts ice production once the bin is seated and the freezer door is fully closed.

Your WRS586FLDM00 uses one of these common controls:

• Style 1: On/Off switch on the freezer door wall near the ice storage bin (accessible after removing the bin)
• Style 2: Wire shutoff arm; down is ON, up is OFF (you hear a click when set to OFF)
• Ice production stops automatically if the bin is removed or the freezer door is open

For the exact location and bin removal steps, use the WRS586FLDM00 owner's manual.

1. Remove the ice storage bin (press the release lever, tilt outward, then lift up and out).
2. Turn the ice maker OFF for 10 seconds.
3. Turn it back ON:
   • Style 1: slide switch to ON (left)
   • Style 2: lower wire arm to ON (down)
4. Reinstall the bin fully and close the freezer door tightly.

These issues commonly look like a “bad ice maker” but are simple to fix:

• Bin not seated all the way; dispenser will not work if the bin is not fully installed
• Ice clumps or a jam in the bin or delivery chute (clear with a plastic utensil, not anything sharp)
• Dispenser lever/pad was held too long; wait a few minutes for the dispenser to reset
• Water supply pressure is below the typical minimum of 30 psi

Cycling the control OFF and ON confirms the ice maker is enabled and that the door/bin interlocks are satisfied; those are the most common reasons ice production stops even when cooling is normal.
