Possible Causes
Sticking water inlet valve, incorrect water pressure (too high), faulty ice maker fill timing circuit, cracked ice mold causing water misdirection
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off water supply and disconnect power before servicing water components.
- Step 1 – Inspect ice mold: Remove the ice bin and check the mold for cracks or warping. Replace the ice maker assembly if the mold is damaged.
- Step 2 – Check water pressure: Ensure the supply line is not connected to a high-pressure source without a regulator. Fisher & Paykel typically specifies 138–827 kPa (20–120 psi). Install a regulator if pressure is excessive.
- Step 3 – Test inlet valve: With water supply off, disconnect the line from the ice maker outlet of the valve. Turn water back on briefly. If water leaks through the valve with no power applied, the valve is sticking and must be replaced.
- Step 4 – Replace valve or ice maker: Install a new Fisher & Paykel water inlet valve if it leaks, or a new ice maker assembly if the timing circuit is suspected (overfill with a known-good valve).
After repair, monitor several harvest cycles to confirm proper fill level (cubes should be well-formed without spillover).
