my ice maker is not getting cold. the water valve was replaced. the technician thinks it may be a seal system problem.....guessing it doesnt have any refrigerant. but his company does not work on the refrigerant cycle system. any suggestions on how to proceed? could this be a seal problem that has allowed the refrigerant to escape? the ice maker kitchenaide model 3kuix305ess2 thank you ron gibson

Hello Ron, thank you for your question! The issue is probably with the Thermistor, part number PS11755842, and the Compressor, part number PS11756696. The compressor compresses the refrigerant in the sealed system of the freestanding ice maker. We hope this solves your problem.

2019 under the counter KitchenAid icemaker, replace the Thermomistor in 2024 and now again the bin is filling back up, overflowing a second time. What else could be causing problem other than the bin thermomistor just gone bad on its own weird.

Hi Scott, thank you for the question. We would suggest checking the water inlet valve, part number PS11765823. It controls the flow of water into the ice maker. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Ice too thin, how to make it thicker

Hi Bill, thank you for contacting us. Ensure that the temperature settings are properly adjusted. A kinked or clogged water supply line restricts flow, causing hollow or undersized cubes. If it is fine, the issue could be with the water inlet valve, part number PS11765823. If the inlet valve is failing, it may not let enough water into the mold. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Water not refilling after initial batch of ice

Jonathan from WILLIAMSBURG, VA
A Bit Difficult

Nutdriver, Screw drivers

The water filled on startup (actually over-filled, which was a clue). After that water was used to make ice, no new water came in so the recirculation pump just made whining noises in the mostly empty reservoir. Since water could come in (on start up) I reasoned it wasn't the water inlet valve, and everything else suggested the ice maker ... Read more
