KitchenAid Ice and Freezer Features
What Makes KitchenAid Ice Maker Repairs Different
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)
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
- Small or hollow cubes. Keep the water filter current and check that the line behind the refrigerator is not kinked and the correct supply valve is installed, since low pressure causes small, hollow cubes. Source: KitchenAid - Refrigerator Ice Maker Troubleshooting
- Ice maker not making ice. Check that the water line is connected, the valve is fully open and the line is not kinked, confirm the freezer is at 0 to 5°F, then reset the ice maker. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Ice Maker Not Working - Troubleshooting
