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
- 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
Before You Call: The KitchenAid Reset
If the ice maker has a reset button, press and hold it for a few seconds; if not, unplug the refrigerator for 1 minute and plug it back in. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - How to Turn the Ice Maker On and Off
Signs Your KitchenAid Ice Maker Needs a Technician
