Gastroback Voltage Drop / Power Instability

Display and lights flicker or reset when the compressor starts.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Shared circuit with heavy appliances, Loose power cord connection, Failing internal power supply on control PCB

Safety first: Avoid using extension cords or multi-plugs with high loads.

Steps:

Dedicated outlet: Plug the Gastroback ice maker into its own wall socket, not shared with microwaves, kettles, or other high-wattage devices.
Check plug fit: Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet; replace worn outlets.
Surge protector: Use a quality surge-protected power strip to stabilize minor fluctuations.

If flickering continues on a known-good circuit, the internal power supply on the control board may be failing and should be replaced.
