KitchenAid 15'' Automatic Ice Maker Installation Guide

3. Install the white decorative screws on the opposite side of the 

door.

4. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work 
properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you 
may need to make several adjustments to level it. You may also 
use the leveling legs to lower the height of the ice maker for 
undercounter installations. 

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another 
person to assist you.

1. Move the ice maker to its final location. 

NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as 
close as possible to the final location.

2. Place the level on top of the product to see whether the ice 

maker is level from front to back and side to side.

3. Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the 

leveling screws that are on the bottom front of the ice maker. 

4. Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of the legs as 

follows:

■

Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the 
ice maker.

■

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the ice 
maker.

NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add 
stability when needed.

5. Push up on the top rear of the ice maker and locate the 

leveling legs that are on the bottom rear of the ice maker. 

6. Follow the instructions in Step 4 to change the height of the 

legs.

7. Use the level to recheck the ice maker to see that it is even 

from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not 
level, repeat steps 2 to 5. If the ice maker is level, go to the 
“Connect Water Supply” section.

1. Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.

2. Open the storage bin door and remove any ice that is in the 

bin.

3. Remove the drain cap from the water pan and drain 

thoroughly. Replace the drain cap securely on the water pan. 
If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan, 
and you will have either thin ice or no ice.

4. Pull out on the bottom of the cutter grid cover until the snaps 

release to remove. 

NOTE: On some models, remove the screw from the cutter 
grid cover.

5. Unplug the wiring harness from the left side of the cutter grid.

6. Unplug the ice level sensor from the right side of the cutter 

grid. Pull the ice level sensor down and forward away from 
the cutter grid.
