Ice maker makes ice very slowly; production is much lower than normal

Safety: Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.

• Clean condenser: Pull the KitchenAid ice maker away from the wall and vacuum the condenser coil. Use a brush to remove stubborn dust.
• Check room temperature: Ensure the unit is installed in a room within the specified temperature range. Excessive heat will reduce ice output.
• Replace water filter: A partially clogged filter can reduce water flow and slow production. Install a new OEM filter.
• Allow time: After cleaning and filter replacement, allow 24 hours for production to stabilize. If output remains low, a technician should evaluate the sealed system.
