How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before removing control panels.
Reset and check controls:
- Turn the unit off using the power button (if available), then unplug it for at least 5 minutes.
- Plug back in and turn on. Observe if the compressor or fan starts.
- Empty the ice bin and ensure the bin full sensor is not blocked or stuck in the "full" position.
- If the unit still does not start, access the control board and inspect for burnt components or loose connectors.
- If the user interface buttons do not respond, the UI board may need replacement. If the UI works but nothing starts, the main control board is suspect.
