What Clean light blinking / Cleaning Complete means

On KitchenAid undercounter freestanding ice makers such as the KUIX535HPS, KUIX335HPS or KUID308HPS, the Clean button blinks while a clean cycle runs. If the cycle is interrupted, the Clean light keeps blinking and you press Clean to resume. When the cycle finishes, "Cleaning Complete" lights, after roughly 70 to 90 minutes. It is a status signal, not a failure.

Common causes of Clean light blinking / Cleaning Complete

  • A clean cycle is running normally
  • The clean cycle was interrupted by opening the door or a power blip
  • The cycle finished and the Cleaning Complete light is showing
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Wait for the cycle to finish; it takes about 70 to 90 minutes. 2. If the Clean light keeps blinking and nothing is running, press Clean to resume. 3. When Cleaning Complete lights, discard any ice made during or right after the cycle. 4. Wipe the bin and restart ice production. 5. If the light blinks for hours with no progress, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • A blinking light during a clean cycle is normal
  • We would not charge for a visit that turns out to be a status light
  • If a real problem appears, we quote in writing first and warrant the repair for 30 days
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
