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)
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
KitchenAid Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- Frost buildup in freezer. KitchenAid ties frost to air getting in, so it says to check that the door seals close fully and that the refrigerator is level. Source: KitchenAid - Troubleshoot Your Refrigerator's Possible Problems
The KitchenAid Ice Maker Test
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
Signs Your KitchenAid Ice Maker Needs a Technician
- Ice clumping in the bucket
- Ice maker or ice compartment frozen over
- An ice maker light or error code on the display

What Kihei Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Kihei 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.
Hawaii has no appliance repair license classification; the Contractors License Board's specialty classifications cover related trades such as plumbing (including fuel gas piping), refrigeration, and ventilating and air conditioning, and a contractor license applies to jobs that need a building, electrical or plumbing permit.

In Hawaii, you can check a license with the Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing public license search or report a problem to the Hawaii DCCA Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO).
