How KitchenAid Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- Ice maker leaking. Break up ice blockages gently with a plastic or wooden handle and check that the fill cup sits directly under the fill valve spigot. Source: KitchenAid - Refrigerator Ice Maker Troubleshooting
- 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
The KitchenAid Ice Maker Test
