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
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
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 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
Testing or Resetting a KitchenAid Ice Maker
