Understanding the Problem
If your KitchenAid KSCS25INSS00 ice maker has stopped making ice (or is producing less than usual), the problem is usually related to the water supply, the ice maker module itself, or a component that controls filling and harvesting. The refrigerator may show no ice, small/partial cubes, repeated cycles without filling, or a steady drip from the fill tube. Diagnosing the fault quickly will tell you whether you need a simple cleaning or a replacement part. Start with basic checks: confirm the water supply is on and the water line isn't kinked, replace an old/expired water filter, and check the freezer temperature (optimal is about 0°F / -18°C). If those are OK, test whether the ice maker performs its test cycle (many KitchenAid modules have a test or diagnostic cycle you can activate). If the module doesn't run or you hear no click when a fill is expected, the issue is often the ice maker assembly, water inlet valve, or the control/thermistor that tells the module when to harvest.
Common Symptoms
No ice production, small or hollow cubes, ice maker cycles but won't fill, clicking/noise with no water flow, ice stuck in mold or continuous dripping
Common Causes
- Water inlet valve failing or blocked water supply
- Defective ice maker assembly / control module or thermistor
- Clogged/old water filter or frozen/blocked fill tube

Helpful Repair Tip
Run the ice maker's test cycle (consult your manual) and listen for the water valve click and motor movement. If the valve doesn't click but has 120V at its connector during the fill command, replace the valve; if the valve clicks but no water flows, check the house supply or frozen fill tube.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the ice maker myself?
Yes — replacing the ice maker assembly or inlet valve is a common DIY repair if you are comfortable with basic hand tools. Always unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply first. Remove the ice bin, disconnect the electrical connector, and follow the replacement instructions for your specific model. If you’re unsure which part number fits your serial number, take a photo of the manufacturer sticker and confirm with the parts supplier.
Why is my ice maker clicking but not filling with water?
A clicking ice maker that doesn't fill usually means the module is trying to run but no water is reaching the mold. Common causes: a failed or clogged water inlet valve, frozen or blocked fill tube, or a closed/blocked house shutoff. Test for voltage at the valve during a fill command — if voltage is present and the valve doesn't open, replace the valve. If the valve opens but no water is available, check the supply line and filter.
