Ice maker runs but produces very small or thin ice cubes/slabs

Safety: Turn off water supply and disconnect power before working on the water system.

• Check water pressure: Ensure the household water supply to the KitchenAid ice maker is fully open and has adequate pressure (typically 20–120 psi).
• Inspect inlet screen: Remove the water inlet valve and check the inlet screen for sediment. Clean gently with a soft brush; do not puncture the screen.
• Flush supply line: Disconnect the supply line and flush into a bucket to clear debris.
• Clean reservoir: Remove and clean the water reservoir and float area with a manufacturer-approved ice machine cleaner to remove mineral buildup.
• Test water level sensor: Some KitchenAid models use an electronic water level sensor. Inspect the sensor and wiring; replace if corroded or if resistance/voltage readings are out of spec per the tech sheet.
• Replace inlet valve: If the valve coil tests open or does not open when energized, replace the KitchenAid water inlet valve.
