Kitchen-aid refrigerator control panel out

SOURCE: Kitchen Aid Ice maker Stopped working

I would suggest not buying a KitchenAid. I have the same problem with my ice maker. Have had nothing but problems with every KitchenAid product that I have ever owned. I will never purchase another KitchenAid product.

All of there appliances are second rate. That is "The KitchenAid Difference"

I slid our unit out tonight and took off the cardboard cover and vacuumed the back area out.  If you do this unplug the unit. I didn't see the spinning fan blades next to the compressor until after the vacuum nozzle touched them.  
I then took off the front cover down by the water filter.  We have 2 long hair cats. 5 years of fur had collected and was preventing air from circulating out the front of the unit. I vacuumed out the fur.  I then took a short flexible rubber tube and hooked it to the vacuum and got as much fur and dust off the coils underneath the fridge box.   
Once I had everything put back together and plugged back in the frame cooled down and I think we are OK.  My guess is the hot air could not escape so it was gradually heating up the frame. 
Good luck.

The ice maker has stopped working. The red led light blinks when the freezer door is opened. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem, if you take off the cover at the bottom of the unit on the left side you will find 6 wires inside a plastic braid, my guess is that you will find some or all of the wires broken, this is due to poor design. they break by simply opening and closing the door. I have contacted kitchenaid and their response is more or less "tough luck". You may have to replace the entire freezer door, good luck

How long have you had this refrigerator and is this the first time this has happened? Your refrigerator has a control board and I believe the board is causing the refrigerator not to defrost every 8 hours. Let me know these questions and I will help you resolve this. Thanks, Sea Breeze
