Know Your KitchenAid Ice Maker
What a KitchenAid Technician Deals With
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.

What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- Ice maker frozen / ice buildup. Set the fridge to 33 to 40°F and the freezer to 0°F and let them run 24 hours; KitchenAid suggests a professional to thaw a frozen water line. Source: KitchenAid - Refrigerator Ice Maker Troubleshooting
