What a KitchenAid Technician Deals With
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)
Refrigerator ice makers come in several styles, switched by a wire shutoff arm (which a full bin lifts to the off position), an on/off switch on the ice maker or the freezer door wall, or the control panel menu on digital models.

Common KitchenAid Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Ice maker frozen / ice buildup. Set the fridge to 33 to 40°F and the freezer to 0°F and let them run 24 hours; KitchenAid suggests a professional to thaw a frozen water line. 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
