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
What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- Ice maker leaking. Break up ice blockages gently with a plastic or wooden handle and check that the fill cup sits directly under the fill valve spigot. Source: KitchenAid - Refrigerator Ice Maker Troubleshooting
- 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
The KitchenAid Ice Maker Test
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
KitchenAid Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan

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
- Replace the refrigerator water filter about every six months or when the indicator comes on, since a clogged or loose filter cuts flow to the ice maker. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Ice Maker Not Working - Troubleshooting
