Ice maker turns off by itself before bin is full; intermittent shutdown

Safety: Unplug the unit before moving or cleaning.

Steps:

• Improve airflow: Move the Antarctic Star ice maker to a well-ventilated area with adequate clearance around vents.
• Clean condenser and fan: Dust buildup can cause overheating. Clean as described in other entries.
• Check ice sensor: Ensure the ice level sensor is clean and not being blocked by stray ice pieces stuck in the sensor path.
• Stable power: Avoid using long, thin extension cords or sharing the outlet with high-draw appliances. Plug directly into a grounded wall outlet.
