How KitchenAid Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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)
What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- Ice dispenser not working. If ice is lodged in the dispenser, set a towel and dish under the chute and let the ice thaw on its own. Source: KitchenAid - Refrigerator Ice Maker Troubleshooting
- 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
Before You Call: The KitchenAid Reset
