Possible Causes
Closed or kinked water supply hose, Clogged inlet filter screen at Grundig water valve, Failed water inlet solenoid valve, Low household water pressure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the water supply and unplug the unit before disconnecting any hoses.
Steps to check:
- Verify water supply: Confirm the tap feeding the ice maker is fully open. Check that the flexible hose is not kinked or crushed behind the unit.
- Test water pressure: Disconnect the hose from the back of the ice maker and briefly open the tap into a bucket. A strong, steady flow is required. If weak, correct the plumbing issue.
- Clean inlet filter: At the water inlet valve on the back of the Grundig unit, remove the hose and inspect the small mesh filter. Rinse away debris under running water and reinstall.
- Check valve operation: Reconnect the hose, restore power, and start a cycle. Listen for a click and water flow when the valve should open. If there is power to the valve but no water passes, replace the water inlet valve assembly.
Note: Use only compatible Grundig or OEM-spec water inlet valves to ensure correct flow and pressure.
