Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Verify the outlet with another appliance before opening the ice maker. Unplug the unit before any internal inspection.
Steps:
- Check outlet and breaker: Confirm the wall socket has power and the circuit breaker or RCD has not tripped.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. If damaged, the cord must be replaced—do not tape or splice.
- Test power switch: Toggle the main power switch several times. If it feels loose or does not click, it may be faulty.
- Internal fuse (advanced): If you are competent and the design allows, remove the cover and locate the fuse on the control PCB. Replace only with the same type and rating.
If the unit remains dead after verifying the outlet, cord, and fuse, the control PCB power supply is likely defective and should be replaced by a technician.
