How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before removing the control panel.

  • Dry the panel: If the panel has been exposed to water or condensation, leave the unit unplugged and allow the control area to dry completely for several hours.
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the front control panel and check the ribbon cable or harness between the UI and main board. Reseat connectors firmly.
  • Check for corrosion: Look for green or white corrosion on contacts. Clean gently with contact cleaner and a soft brush.
  • Replace UI board: If buttons remain unresponsive or trigger wrong functions, replace the Balay user interface PCB or touch membrane assembly.
