A KitchenAid ice maker shares its basic needs with every other ice maker, cold air, water and a working mechanism, but where it sits, how it is reset and the codes it shows are specific to the brand and model. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions KitchenAid and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with KitchenAid, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.

KitchenAid Ice and Freezer Features
What a KitchenAid Technician Deals With
The units run a defrost cycle with a defrost heater, and meltwater flows to a drain pan, which explains sizzling or gurgling sounds. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Refrigerator Normal Sounds and Noises
Refrigerator ice makers come in several styles, switched by a wire shutoff arm (which a full bin lifts to the off position), an on/off switch on the ice maker or the freezer door wall, or the control panel menu on digital models.

What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
KitchenAid Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call

Freezer and Ice Maker Notes for Grafton, WI
Most ice maker calls in Grafton come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
