What Makes KitchenAid Ice Maker Repairs Different
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 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
