How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool if it feels hot.
Steps to prevent shutdowns:
- Improve airflow: Ensure at least 4–6 inches of clearance around the ice maker and keep vents free of dust.
- Clean condenser: Remove dust from the condenser coil and fan area.
- Check fan: Confirm the condenser fan motor runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace if not operating.
- Ambient temperature: Move the unit to a cooler location within the recommended operating range.
- Thermal device: If shutdowns persist, the thermal cutoff or thermostat may be overly sensitive and require replacement by a technician.
