Possible Causes
Defective compressor start relay, Faulty overload protector, Low supply voltage, Locked or failing compressor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before accessing the compressor compartment.
- Check power supply: Verify the outlet voltage with a multimeter. Low voltage can cause start failures. Avoid using long extension cords.
- Access compressor components: Remove the rear panel to expose the compressor, start relay, and overload protector.
- Inspect start relay and overload: Remove the relay/overload assembly from the compressor terminals. Shake the relay gently; if it rattles excessively or shows burn marks, it is likely faulty.
- Test components: Use a multimeter to check continuity of the overload and resistance of the relay. Replace the Gram compressor start relay and overload kit if defective.
- Compressor check: If new start components do not resolve E10 and the compressor draws high current or trips quickly, the compressor may be mechanically locked. This requires a sealed system technician to diagnose and replace.
