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.
Freezer Repair Near Me is independent and not affiliated with KitchenAid. Listed companies are independent technicians who repair KitchenAid ice makers and freezers along with other brands.

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
- Undercounter ice maker making thin or cloudy ice. Check water pressure and the filter, make sure the water pan drain cap is tight and run the cleaning cycle. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Thin, Cloudy or Clumpy Ice - Freestanding Ice Maker
- 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
Before You Call: The KitchenAid Reset
If the ice maker has a reset button, press and hold it for a few seconds; if not, unplug the refrigerator for 1 minute and plug it back in. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - How to Turn the Ice Maker On and Off

- Vacuum the undercounter ice maker's condenser fins behind the lower access panel with the unit unplugged, since a clogged condenser reduces ice output. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Cleaning the Ice Maker

What Live Oak Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Live Oak come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
