Possible Causes

Weak household circuit, Undersized extension cord, Failing compressor drawing high current, Loose neutral or ground connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Always unplug the unit before inspecting its wiring.

  • Use dedicated outlet: Plug the Amica ice maker directly into a dedicated wall outlet without extension cords or power strips.
  • Check circuit rating: Ensure the circuit amperage meets the ice maker's requirements.
  • Inspect plug and cord: Look for heat damage or discoloration. Replace if necessary.
  • Monitor compressor start: If lights dim severely or the breaker trips when the compressor starts, the compressor or start components may be faulty and require service.
