What Makes KitchenAid Ice Maker Repairs Different
The 15-inch undercounter ice makers circulate water over a freezing plate for clear cubes and use a built-in drain pump that allows installation up to 10 feet from the drain line. Source: KitchenAid - 15-Inch 25 lb. Automatic Ice Maker with Clear Ice Technology (KUIX515SPS)
Common KitchenAid Ice Maker and Freezer Problems

Testing or Resetting a KitchenAid Ice Maker
