What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- Undercounter ice maker making thin or cloudy ice. Check water pressure and the filter, make sure the water pan drain cap is tight and run the cleaning cycle. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Thin, Cloudy or Clumpy Ice - Freestanding Ice Maker

- Vacuum the undercounter ice maker's condenser fins behind the lower access panel with the unit unplugged, since a clogged condenser reduces ice output. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Cleaning the Ice Maker
