A KitchenAid ice maker in Uniontown, OH was stuck with water continuously running in after the homeowner installed a new filter and ran an Affresh cleaning cycle. Our diagnosis revealed a failed water level sensor and severe lime scale buildup throughout the system.

The Problem

Water won’t stop running in. This happened after I installed new filter and ran Affresh through to clean it.

Water level sensor in pump had failed. The lines and ice maker shower head were completely plugged with lime scale, causing heavy lime scale build up throughout the system.

Is It Worth Repairing?

KitchenAid ice makers are well-built appliances that typically justify repair costs when the main components fail. This KUIX505ESS1 model is a solid unit that should provide years of reliable service once the water quality issues are addressed with proper maintenance and filtration.
