How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Avoid pressing buttons with wet hands.

Steps:

  • Check control lock: Some Arktic models have a child lock. Press and hold the LOCK or specific key combination to unlock.
  • Verify bin not full: Empty the bin and ensure the bin sensor or arm is in the "not full" position.
  • Test buttons: If certain buttons do not respond, the touchpad or UI board may be faulty and should be replaced.
  • Reset control: Unplug the unit for 5 minutes to reset the control board. If it still will not start, the main control PCB may need replacement.
