An electric water valve feeds the ice maker and dispenser, and it buzzes if the ice maker is switched on without a water supply connected. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Refrigerator Normal Sounds and Noises
Common KitchenAid Ice Maker and Freezer Problems

KitchenAid Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call

- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
