Possible Causes

Unit not leveled, loose leveling legs, cabinet not secured to surrounding cabinetry, uneven floor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when moving or tilting the unit; avoid tipping more than recommended.

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level on top of the ice maker. Adjust the front and rear leveling legs until the unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back.
  • Secure to cabinetry: If the installation kit includes brackets, ensure the KitchenAid ice maker is properly fastened to adjacent cabinets.
  • Add padding: Place thin foam or rubber pads between the unit and cabinets to reduce rattling.
  • Recheck after operation: Run the unit and confirm vibration is reduced.
