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)
The units run a defrost cycle with a defrost heater, and meltwater flows to a drain pan, which explains sizzling or gurgling sounds. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Refrigerator Normal Sounds and Noises
KitchenAid Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
