How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the unit before removing control covers.
- Power reset: Leave the ice maker unplugged for at least 5 minutes to allow the control to fully reset, then plug back in.
- Check control settings: Ensure the power or on/off button is set to ON and any delay start or cleaning modes are not active.
- Inspect control board: Remove the control cover and look for burn marks or damaged components on the board.
- Run diagnostics: Enter service mode (per tech sheet) and attempt to run basic tests. If the board does not respond, it is likely defective.
