A KitchenAid ice maker shares its basic needs with every other ice maker, cold air, water and a working mechanism, but where it sits, how it is reset and the codes it shows are specific to the brand and model. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions KitchenAid and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.

KitchenAid Symptoms and First Checks
- Ice maker leaking. Break up ice blockages gently with a plastic or wooden handle and check that the fill cup sits directly under the fill valve spigot. Source: KitchenAid - Refrigerator Ice Maker Troubleshooting
- Small or hollow cubes. Keep the water filter current and check that the line behind the refrigerator is not kinked and the correct supply valve is installed, since low pressure causes small, hollow cubes. Source: KitchenAid - Refrigerator Ice Maker Troubleshooting
Signs Your KitchenAid Ice Maker Needs a Technician
- An ice maker light or error code on the display
- Small, hollow or misshapen cubes
- Ice tastes or smells off
