Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset the breaker. Unplug the ice maker immediately.
Checks:
- Inspect cord and plug: Look for visible damage, burns, or moisture. Do not use the unit if any damage is found.
- Dry the unit: If the ice maker has been exposed to water spills, allow it to dry completely for at least 24 hours in a warm, dry place (unplugged).
If the breaker still trips when plugging in or turning on the unit, there is likely an internal short in the compressor or control board. This must be diagnosed and repaired by a qualified technician.
