What Service light
actually means.
KitchenAid does not print a list of what triggers the Service light; its help page only says the light shows that service is needed. A single restart is the owner's step, and a light that returns after it calls for a diagnosis on site.

What to do when Service light shows on the ice machineKind of codeControl board and power
The board lost track of itself or of its power: a voltage too low or too high at startup, a relay that no longer closes, a keypad or display that stays dark, or a memory error after a surge. Switching off at the machine's own switch for a minute clears a passing glitch. A code that returns, a breaker that trips, or any hot or burning smell means the power stays off and the board, the wiring and the relays are left to a technician.

An ice machine error code may show as a number on a small display, a pattern of blinking lights on the control board, a colored light on the front, or a machine that stops with one indicator flashing.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from KitchenAid's own guidance for Service light on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the machine off and back on with the power button, or at the breaker from a dry panel.
Before restarting, make sure the water supply valve is open and the drain hose is not kinked, since both can stop a cycle.
If the Service light returns, leave the machine off and book a visit.

What not to do
The Service light is not the filter or cleaning reminder, which have their own lights. It also gives no hint of which part is involved, so the cause has to be read from the machine itself.
What you may

A booking with a code goes further when it carries the light or code copied as it appeared, the model and serial off the data plate, and a word on whether cubes still fall into the bin. With those three in hand, our office can match the probable part to your machine the same afternoon.
