High‑pitched squealing or grinding noise from inside the unit.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failing circulation pump motor, Worn condenser fan motor bearings, Debris in pump impeller, Dry fan shaft

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before touching moving parts.

Identify noise source: Remove panels and briefly power the unit to locate whether the noise comes from the pump area or fan area. Then unplug again.
Check for debris: Inspect the circulation pump inlet for foreign objects and remove them.
Spin fan by hand: If the fan feels rough or wobbly, replace the fan motor.
Replace noisy pump: If the squeal clearly comes from the pump and persists after cleaning, replace the Camry circulation pump assembly.
