Know Your KitchenAid Ice Maker
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. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - How to Turn the Ice Maker On and Off
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
KitchenAid Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
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
