Ice maker will not power on, display is blank, no lights or sounds

Safety First: Unplug the ice maker before removing any panels. Do not work on live circuits.

Step-by-step checks:

• Verify outlet power: Plug a lamp or other appliance into the same outlet to confirm it has power. If not, reset the breaker or replace the wall outlet as needed.
• Inspect power cord: Check the Arktic ice maker power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. If damaged, replace the entire power cord assembly rather than attempting a splice.
• Check power switch: If your Arktic model has a rocker or push power switch, remove the rear or side access panel and test the switch for continuity with a multimeter. Replace if it does not close when switched ON.
• Inspect internal fuse: Many Arktic ice makers have a small glass or ceramic fuse on the main control PCB. With the unit unplugged, remove the control cover, locate the fuse, and visually inspect for a broken filament or discoloration. Test with a meter and replace with the exact same rating if open.
• Check main control PCB: If power is present at the board input but the display remains dead and no relays click, the main control PCB is likely faulty. Inspect for burnt spots or swollen components. Replace the main control board as a complete assembly.

When to stop: If you are not comfortable testing live voltage or removing the control board, contact a qualified technician.
