Hello! 

I have run this Kriging tool multiple times, varying the cell size and number of points. Are the white areas a bug? There is no white in the legend, so it makes me think so. I'm mainly curious what they are, but also, how do I fix them.

Thank you!

Have you used the info tool to see what values are there?

What IS your legend?

are you applying symbology from another layer?

What type of kriging?

Environment settings that you used for the analysis?

Anything else you can provide?

The environment settings haven't been changed and the layer isn't symbolized based on another; those images are the direct outputs of running the tool. 

I ran Kriging (3D analyst), spherical and varied the output cell size. One is 16 and the other is 25. 

Here is the legend from the first image:

So the info tool is showing 'nodata' in the white area?

Correct, the info tool shows "No Data" in the white area.

Please read this article FAQ: Why does the Kriging Spatial Analyst tool generate NoData areas in the output raster? . It is very useful for your case.
