  If your kb!ce Ice Maker isn't making ice, it could be due to several reasons: * The unit might be turned off or not plugged in. Ensure the ice maker is turned on. * The water reservoir might be low, causing the Water Level red LED to flash. Refill the water reservoir with potable water. * The unit might have dispensed all ice, but the Making Ice green LED is illuminated. Use the Cleaning mode to melt clumped ice. * The Cleaning LED might be flashing, indicating defrosting is required. Use the Cleaning mode to defrost. * Other potential issues, such as a defective water pump, water level sensor, ice engine motor, or cooling system, may require professional service.

  If your kb!ce Ice Maker isn't dispensing ice, consider the following: * Check if there is ice in the ice bin. If not, refer to the troubleshooting steps for 'Unit does not make ice'. * If ice is jammed in the ice bin, use the Dispense Ice and Clean button combination to break it up. * If ice is stuck in the ice dispense point, carefully remove it with a spoon. * If these steps do not resolve the issue, the ice bin auger or motor, control PCB, or display PCB may be defective, requiring professional service.
