Repair & Advice
Kitchen Aid Ice machine would not operate, first problem was the thermistor and the water circulating pump. After replacing ths items. Unit would make one ice sheet and drop but would not go out of harvest cycle. After some period of time I determined the replacement thermistor was not functioning properly. I had a hard time finding the thermistor. I was informed it was no longer available. Parts Dr. had a harness that had the proper thermistor which actually was cheeper than just buying a thermistor. After installing this harness unit functioned properly. I had checked with other techs and was told the IC board was bad, but just couldn't see this because the unit went through dignostics ok after putting in the first termistor and water pump.
