KitchenAid Ice and Freezer Features
How KitchenAid Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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.

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
