Mochazel for Model Number KUIS185JBL0

Makes ice fine . Feeds water into water bucket and pump pumps over cooler plate however water stops flowing before pump stops pumping so there is a sucking noise until the pump finally gets enough water to stop. I can stop the pump by pouring a few ounces of water in the water bucket. I have noticed that whenever pump first starts there is a little water that drips down into the bucket from the end of the cooling plate where the water dumps off. So I think what ever reads the amount of water to put into the bucket is not allowing enough water in to fill the cooling try by several ounces. But what do I know?

Answer

Mochazel, This unit uses a time fill for putting water into the water reservoir. You will want to check the water pressure to make sure that there is enough pressure to fill the reservoir. Check the water line coming from the water valve to the reservoir to ensure that it is not getting frozen an not allowing water to flow properly. If it is frozen then you will want to insulate the line to make sure that it cannot freeze. Also check to make sure the at the water reservoir is not leaking, cap on tight and that there are no cracks in the reservoir.
