Possible Causes
Failed compressor start relay, Faulty compressor run capacitor, Overheating compressor, High head pressure due to dirty condenser
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power. Do not attempt sealed system repairs (refrigerant) unless you are a licensed technician.
- Clean condenser coil: Pull the Asko ice maker away from the wall. Use a vacuum and soft brush to clean dust from the condenser coil and fan area to improve airflow.
- Check ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit per the installation manual. Poor ventilation can cause overheating and overload trips.
- Inspect compressor components: Remove the rear lower panel to access the compressor. Check the start relay and capacitor mounted on the compressor terminals for signs of burning or cracking.
- Listen for clicking: When powered, repeated clicking from the compressor area can indicate a failed start relay or overload protector.
- Replace start components: If the relay or capacitor appears damaged, they should be replaced as a set with Asko-compatible parts. If the compressor still fails to start, the compressor itself may be faulty and requires professional service.
