What Makes KitchenAid Ice Maker Repairs Different
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)
KitchenAid Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
The KitchenAid Ice Maker Test

KitchenAid Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
