What a KitchenAid Technician Deals With
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
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
Common KitchenAid Ice Maker and Freezer Problems

- 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
Testing or Resetting a KitchenAid Ice Maker
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
