KitchenAid KUID308H Automatic Ice Maker with PrintShield Finish
Anyone who owns a KUID308H chose it for the PrintShield finish, which resists fingerprints on the door, and the KUID308HPS version carries the same base model. It is an 18-inch automatic ice maker that normally lives in an undercounter bay, so its working parts see little daylight.
On a call we look past the door and start with the water. A pinched supply line or a clogged inlet screen is quick to test, and it explains many weak batches. We then inspect the freeze plate for scale, since mineral crust stops cubes from releasing cleanly.
Next comes the drain: we pour water into the sump, watch it leave, and listen for the pump. The condenser is vacuumed last because dust there lowers capacity slowly over the years. Pricing is given in writing before any work, and our workmanship carries a 30-day warranty.
No, the finish only affects the door panel. The ice-making system is the same as on the base model. We take care not to scratch the door when pulling the unit out, and we clean it with a soft cloth.
With the water: supply line, valve and inlet screen. Then we check the freeze plate for scale and run a timed cycle. Low water and scale are the most common reasons for thin cubes.
The condenser needs clear air around the cabinet, so we check that nothing blocks the front grille and that the cutout lets heat escape. Dust build-up is cleaned out during the visit.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
