When your KitchenAid ice maker is not making ice, it can be frustrating, especially when you rely on it for daily use. There are several possible reasons why your KitchenAid ice maker has stopped producing ice.
One of the most common causes is a clogged or frozen water line, which restricts the water flow into the ice maker. A faulty water inlet valve or the old water filter can also prevent the ice maker from filling properly. Another potential issue is the freezer temperature. If the freezer is not cold enough (ideally below 10°F), the ice maker may not function correctly.
Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for restoring the optimal performance of your Kitchen Aid ice maker.
Your KitchenAid ice maker will not stop making ice due to several common issues.
- Faulty Ice Level Sensor: When the ice level sensor fails to detect a full ice bin, the ice maker will not stop making ice until it is turned off.
- Stuck or Defective Shutoff Arm: If the ice maker arm is stuck in the "on" position or, for some reason, it's blocked from moving to the "off" position, the ice maker continues producing ice.
- Malfunctioning Control Board: If the control board fails to turn off the ice maker, it will keep making ice. The control board may need resetting or replacement.
- Ice Maker Assembly: Sometimes, the defective ice maker assembly can cause overproduction of ice.
It is important to turn off the ice maker's water supply when you notice a leak to avoid potential water damage to your property
Several common problems can cause this, and understanding the potential sources of the leak is essential for proper repair.
- Faulty Water Inlet Valve: A failed water inlet valve will cause overfilling of the ice maker, and the water will start leaking inside the freezer. Sometimes, the inlet valve does not close, causing water to run continuously and potentially leading to significant water damage if not turned off.
- Damaged Ice Maker Assembly: If you notice a slow leak or drip under the ice maker assembly, or if you see water or solid ice build-up inside the ice bin, your ice maker assembly is likely leaking water.

Maintenance Tips
🧼 Ice Maker Cleaning and Regular Maintenance
Cleaning and maintaining your ice maker regularly is necessary for optimal performance, extending its lifespan, and ensuring uninteruptged ice production. Over time, mineral deposits and bacteria can build up inside the unit, which can affect the taste and quality of the ice, and may even lead to mechanical problems.
To maintain your unit, regularly inspect the water supply line for leaks or kinks. Ensure the temperature is set correctly, ideally between 0 and 5°F for the freezer. Additionally, perform monthly wipe-downs and keep the ice bin free of old ice to help maintain optimal performance.
Cleaning The Free-Standing Ice Maker
Most modern free-standing ice makers are equipped with a built-in cleaning cycle, making maintenance easier and more effective. Running the cleaning cycle regularly, ideally every one to two months, helps eliminate mineral buildup from the internal components. This ensures that your ice remains fresh and that your machine operates efficiently.
- Turn Off Ice Production: Start by turning off the ice-making function, but keep the machine powered on. If there’s ice in the bin, discard it and allow any remaining ice to melt completely.
- Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Refer to your owner’s manual to find the recommended cleaning solution for your KitchenAid ice maker. Generally, you will need to pour the cleaner into the designated reservoir.
- Run the Clean Cycle: Activate the clean cycle by pressing the button or sequence of buttons on the control panel. During this process, the cleaner circulates through the system, loosening and flushing out scale, bacteria, and residue from the water lines, evaporator plate, and internal components.
- Rinse The Unit And Restart Ice Production: After the clean cycle is finished, many units automatically prompt a rinse cycle with fresh water. If your unit does not do this, refer to the manual for instructions on how to run at least one or two manual rinse cycles to ensure that all cleaning solution is completely flushed out.
Cleaning and Maintaining The Ice Maker Assembly
Removing and cleaning the ice maker assembly from the freezer is not recommended, but basic cleaning tasks such as wiping down surfaces and emptying and washing the ice bin are recommended for all homeowners.
Water Filter
Replace the water filter according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, usually every 6 months. A clogged filter can slow ice production and affect ice quality.
