KitchenAid Underfreezing / Insufficient Ice Thickness

Ice maker produces very small, thin sheets that break apart easily

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Thickness sensor set too thin, sensor failing early, low refrigerant charge, condenser overheating

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning or adjusting.

Adjust thickness: Increase the ice thickness setting if available.
Clean condenser: Ensure the condenser coil is clean and the fan is running to maintain proper refrigeration capacity.
Clean evaporator and sensor: Remove scale that may cause premature thickness detection.
Call technician: If ice remains thin after cleaning and adjustment, a sealed system issue may exist and requires professional service.
