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 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
- Ice dispenser not working. If ice is lodged in the dispenser, set a towel and dish under the chute and let the ice thaw on its own. 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
Before You Call: The KitchenAid Reset
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
KitchenAid Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call

In Nebraska, you can check a license with the Nebraska Department of Labor contractor registration (Search Registered Contractors and Subcontractors) or report a problem to the Nebraska Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
