Possible Causes
Faulty start button on control panel, Ice full sensor stuck in "full" position, Water level sensor indicating empty, Control PCB relay failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before inspecting sensors or boards.
Step-by-step:
- Check indicators: Look at the panel for ADD WATER or ICE FULL lights. If lit, resolve those conditions first (empty basket, refill water).
- Test buttons: Press each button and observe if the display responds. If only the start button fails, the keypad membrane may be defective.
- Reset sensors: Empty the ice basket and refill the water tank. Power cycle the unit by unplugging for 5 minutes, then plug back in.
- Inspect ice full sensor: Clean and realign the ice full infrared sensor so it does not falsely detect ice.
When to call a technician: If the unit still will not start, the control panel assembly or main control board may require replacement.
