How KitchenAid Ice Makers and Freezers Work
The undercounter ice makers need 30 to 120 psi of water pressure, and a dirty air-cooled condenser can cut output to little or no ice and overheat parts. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Thin, Cloudy or Clumpy Ice - Freestanding Ice Maker
What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- Ice dispenser not working. If ice is lodged in the dispenser, set a towel and dish under the chute and let the ice thaw on its own. Source: KitchenAid - Refrigerator Ice Maker Troubleshooting
- Ice maker frozen / ice buildup. Set the fridge to 33 to 40°F and the freezer to 0°F and let them run 24 hours; KitchenAid suggests a professional to thaw a frozen water line. Source: KitchenAid - Refrigerator Ice Maker Troubleshooting
