Noisy Water Pump
Symptom
Ice cubes are cloudy or white instead of clear.
High Mineral Content / Entrapped Air in Ice
Symptom
Ice cubes are very small, hollow, or melt quickly in drinks.
Insufficient Freeze Time / Poor Ice Formation
Symptom
Ice cubes have a bad taste or odor, even when freshly made.
Contaminated Water Path
Symptom
Ice cubes stick together in large clumps in the basket.
Ice Clumping in Storage Bin
Symptom
Ice maker continues to run and attempt to make ice even when the bin is clearly full.
Ice Full Detection Failure
Symptom
Ice maker displays normal operation but ice is very soft or slushy when harvested.
Incomplete Freezing / Early Harvest
Symptom
Ice maker does not power on at all; no lights or display when plugged in.
No Power / Dead Unit
Symptom
Ice maker emits a burning smell or electrical odor during operation.
Overheating Electrical Component
Symptom

Irregular Ice Formation
Symptom
Ice maker produces ice very slowly; cycles take much longer than normal and ice output is low.
Reduced Cooling Efficiency
Symptom
Ice maker runs a cleaning cycle but does not circulate water properly during cleaning.
Cleaning Cycle Water Flow Issue
Symptom
Ice maker runs but produces no ice at all; compressor and fan may or may not run.
Refrigeration System Failure (No Cooling)
Symptom
Ice maker starts a cycle but stops partway through and resets repeatedly.
Intermittent Power or Overheat Protection Trip
Symptom
Ice maker stops making ice after a few cycles and requires manual restart.
Thermal Overload or Logic Lockup
Symptom
Ice maker trips the household circuit breaker or GFCI outlet when turned on.
Electrical Short or Ground Fault
Symptom
Ice maker vibrates excessively or moves on the countertop during operation.
Excessive Vibration
Symptom
Visible mold, slime, or discoloration inside the water reservoir or on the ice basket.
Microbial Contamination
Symptom
Water appears inside the ice storage bin area or under the ice basket, causing ice to melt quickly.
Internal Water Overflow / Misaligned Water Tray
Symptom
Water leaking from the bottom or sides of the ice maker onto the countertop or floor.
