How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips. Unplug the ice maker immediately.
Step-by-step:
- Inspect cord: Check the power cord for visible damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Try another outlet: Use a different circuit to rule out house wiring issues.
- Internal inspection (advanced): With the unit unplugged, inspect wiring for burns or melted insulation.
When to call a technician: A breaker trip usually indicates a serious internal short in the compressor, fan motor, or control PCB. Professional diagnosis is required.
