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.

Keeping a KitchenAid Ice Maker and Freezer Running
- Run the undercounter ice maker's clean cycle (about 70 minutes) with one 16-ounce bottle of ice machine cleaner when the clean light turns red or about every 9 months, or every 6 months with hard water. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Cleaning the Ice Maker
- Vacuum the undercounter ice maker's condenser fins behind the lower access panel with the unit unplugged, since a clogged condenser reduces ice output. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Cleaning the Ice Maker

Local Notes for Cleveland
Most ice maker calls in Cleveland come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.
