Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the ice maker before accessing the pump. Water may spill; protect flooring.

  • Access circulation pump: Remove the front lower panel and internal covers to locate the water circulation pump near the reservoir.
  • Check for blockages: Disconnect the inlet hose and inspect for debris, scale, or ice blocking the pump. Clean thoroughly.
  • Bleed air: Ensure the reservoir is filled to the proper level to avoid airlocks. Tilt the unit slightly if needed to help purge air from the pump.
  • Test pump motor: With wiring disconnected, measure motor resistance. An open winding indicates a bad pump. If safe and you are qualified, you can bench test the pump with 120 VAC.
  • Inspect wiring: Verify the harness from the control board to the pump is intact and connectors are secure.
  • Replace pump: If the pump does not run or is noisy and weak, install a new OEM Amana circulation pump and reassemble.
