How KitchenAid Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
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)
What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
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
- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
- Compressor hums but will not start
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm

Keeping a KitchenAid Ice Maker and Freezer Running

- Replace the refrigerator water filter about every six months or when the indicator comes on, since a clogged or loose filter cuts flow to the ice maker. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Ice Maker Not Working - Troubleshooting
