How KitchenAid Ice Makers and Freezers Work
An electric water valve feeds the ice maker and dispenser, and it buzzes if the ice maker is switched on without a water supply connected. Source: KitchenAid Product Help - Refrigerator Normal Sounds and Noises
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
