Ice bin overfilling
I'm an hvac/r technician, and regularly work on ice machines. Begin my pulling the white over beneath the control panel. It snaps in place so pull on the bottom then left out. 1/4 nut driver is all you need, and remove the screw holding the bin thermistor clip to the side. Up to the right , beneath the control panel, behind the plastic panel you previously removed is the mollex connector. Unplug the thermistor and follow instructions in reverse to reinstall.

Very easy installation.
Tools needed: - 1/4 inch nut driver or socket & ratchet (or wrench... depending on what you have available.) - Optional: Flashlight and mirror
1 - I turned the power off. 2 - Grabbing the bottom of the cover (above the ice bin) with both hands, I pulled sharply toward me and the cover was free. 3 - I used the nut driver to remove the screw holding the thermistor in place against the wall of the ice bin. 4 - I used the flashlight and mirror to confirm the placement of the connector. 5 - Used my index finger to depress the locking clip and gently pulled the connector downward. 6 - I attached the new thermistor to the ice bin wall using the nut driver. 7 - I threaded the connector up to the control board and pushed it into place. (This step was the most difficult for me... I had to use the mirror to confirm that I was properly aligned.) 8 - Turned on the power (and shut off the "FAST ICE" option -- may not be available on all ice maker models). 9 - I scooped out a gallon of ice for my tea maker. 10 - A few hours I checked the bin level to confirm that the ice maker was behaving.
All in all, a very simple repair and certainly beats paying someone $200 or $300 for a five minute job.

Would no stop making ice
Instead of hiring a technician to repair my 2022 Kitchen Aid ice machine for parts, labor, & service call of $300+, I decided to research a little. Google & U-Tube directed me with what was most probable wrong & walked through exactly how to replace part needed. The secret or guarantee correct repair is to use OEM parts only. $59.50 later with OEM part from this site/ Fixed and working as new again. Thanks .

Ice machine would not turn off when bin was full.
This is the second time for this repair. Seems to occur after cleaning. Make sure you get the right part. Look at the old thermistor for correct model number, they look the same but are different. Turn off machine, unsnap cover plate, unplug old thermistor, remove holding screw with nut driver, replace in reverse order, turn on ice machine. Next time I clean the machine I may remove the thermistor.

Hello,I have a Maytag ice maker model # mim1555zrs0, it won't stop making ice. I cleaned the thermostat but it didn't solve the problem. Should I replace the thermostat? Part # wpw10511923 ?? Thanks
For model number M1M1555ZRS0
Hi Mike, Thank you for the question. I suggest replacing the thermostat first and if this does not fix the issue you may need to replace the Water Inlet Valve,PartSelect Number: PS11738179. Hope this helps!

ICEMACHINE MAKING TOO MUCH ICE. FROM ANSWERS FROM OTHERS SOUNDS LIKE THERMISTOR IS BAD.WHERE IS THERMISTR AND HOW DOES ONE CHANGE IT
For model number KUIC15PHZS0
Hello Ron, Thank you for the question. The Thermistor is also called the Bin Temperature Sensor. You will need to pull the white cover off from the front of the machine. Remove the screw that holds the thermistor in place and unplug the plastic connector and reverse the steps to install. We hope this helps!

How to replace the thermistor in a self standing ice maker
Hello Cheryl, thank you for your question. Once you locate the thermistor, it would simply unplug from the wire harness and the new thermistor would plug in and be remounted into its holder. If you would like to know where this part is located in your model, please resubmit a new question with the model number information. I hope this helps!

My 6 yr old Kitchen Aid ice maker stopped making ice. Ice plate gets frosty but the recirculation pump is not circulating water. I replaced the pump and that didn’t help, because the pump never gets the signal to start pumping water. Visual inspection of wire harness inside icebox looks good. The unit beeps every two minutes like it’s sending a start signal to the pump but the pump never cycles on. Any ideas on what and how to troubleshoot next?
For model number KUID508ESS1
Hi Rodney, thank you for reaching out. We have narrowed the issue down to the following parts: the water inlet valve, part number PS11765823, the water filter, part number PS8759230, the temperature sensor, part number PS11755842, and the control board, part number PS12346592. We hope this helps!
Too much ice. But where is the thermostat that needs replaced.
On door? Where is it located.
Thank you.
For model number KUIC15NHZS0

Ice maker makes ice, but does not dump until the reset button is pushed. How do I make it dump automatically.
For model number 79572483411
Hi Tim, thank you for contacting us. We would suggest checking the auger motor, part number PS12080202. The motor operates the auger to push ice cubes down the chute, providing easy access to ice through the refrigerator's dispenser. We hope this solves your problem!
Our unit is not making ice. Water is running over the freeze plate but not freezing. Runs a clean cycle normally. It almost seems to be stuck in the defrost cycle to drop the ice on the wire cutters.
For model number KUIC18NNZS0
Hi Matt,
Thank you for your question. If the evaporator chill plate and heat exchanger is not making ice, check to make sure the compressor is coming on. If the compressor is running the issue may be with the sealed system and it will need to be checked by an appliance repairperson. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Ice maker is not making ice
For model number KUIX305ESS1
Hi Cecil, thank you for the question. We would recommend checking the water tubes and the filter for clogging. If these are not the issues, then we would recommend checking the water inlet valve, part number PS11765823, to fix the issue. Glad to be of help!
Our kitchenaid undercounter ice maker Mod. KUIC15NRTS2 builds up too much ice, makes a grinding noise and then floods the floor with water. Turning it off stops the flooding. Removing the ice and restarting lets it operate normally for a day or two, then it repeats the cycle again. The drain is not stopped up. Ran it through the cleaning cycle but it didn’t help. The ice sensor thermistor measures around 32K ohms when placed in a glass of ice water. What should the value be? Any suggestions for the next checkout step sequence or what the most probable cause of the problem might be? Thanks for your help.
For model number KUIC15NRTS2
Hi Harry, thank you for reaching out. The thermistor should read 7.4K Ohms or less at temperatures greater than 37°F (bin is empty), and a resistance of 7.6K Ohms or more at temperatures lower than 37°F (bin is full). The thermistor, part number PS11755741, is a potential cause of failure and needs to be replaced. We hope this helps, good luck with the repair!
For some reason i can not find an owners manual to download. I am trying to replace the thermistor in the ice bin which should be a simple task if i could just find a manual to tell me how to disassemble the plastic in the front of the bin!
For model number G115NDXZB1
