How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the Café ice maker before removing panels. Turn off the water supply if disconnecting lines.

Steps:

  • Check basics: Confirm the unit is powered (lights on, fans running) and that the water supply valve is fully open.
  • Verify water flow: Disconnect the water line at the ice maker inlet valve and briefly open the household valve into a bucket to confirm strong flow.
  • Listen for compressor: When the unit should be cooling, listen for the compressor running. If silent or clicking, suspect the start device or compressor.
  • Inspect condenser and fans: Ensure the condenser fan runs and coils are clean.
  • Check for frost on evaporator: Remove interior panel and look for frost pattern. A completely warm evaporator suggests a sealed system or compressor issue requiring professional service.
  • Replace likely failed components: If no water enters, replace the Café water inlet valve. If compressor will not start, have a technician test and replace the start relay or compressor as needed.
