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
KitchenAid Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
