Camry Overheating Electrical Component

Unit emits a burning smell during operation.

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

Dust on heater or hot components, Failing motor winding, Shorted PCB component, Loose electrical connection causing arcing

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker immediately. Do not continue to operate it until the source is found.

Inspect for visible damage: Remove panels and look for burnt wires, discolored connectors, or charred PCB areas.
Smell test: Carefully localize the smell to the compressor, fan, pump, or control board area.
Tighten connections: Check screw terminals and plug connectors for looseness and signs of arcing.

If you cannot clearly identify and correct a minor cause (like dust burning off), have a technician inspect the unit before reuse.
