Hello everyone. New to the forum but not new to DIY repairs. I have a KitchenAid KUIX305EBL1 under cabinet ice maker. Several years old and never had a problem until now. I’ve read several threads but no one seems to have the exact symptoms.
Every since the last cleaning cycle, the ice making has been diminishing. At first the ice seemed just a little thinner than normal. Over a couple of months, production diminished to the point where there was hardly any ice in the bin. So, I turned it off for several days and then turned it back on again. Now, once turned on the inlet valve opens and stays open, meaning the pan fills with water and then continuously overflows for several minutes to the point where I just turn the machine off again. The recirculating pump never kicks on. I’m not exactly sure of how all the systems work together as I’ve never had any problems. But it seems to me whatever senses the water level in the pan is not working, so the inlet valve does not close and the recirc pump never kicks on. I see you can run a diagnostics on the Whirlpool version, but I haven’t seen a post or video showing diagnostic on the type of machine. Any guidance would be appreciated.
