How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before touching the compressor or condenser area.

Steps to check:

Check installation: Ensure the ice maker has adequate ventilation around the sides and rear. Do not enclose it tightly in cabinetry without proper airflow.
Clean condenser: Remove the rear panel and use a soft brush or vacuum to remove dust and lint from the condenser coil.
Verify fan operation: Confirm the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
Inspect thermal sensor: Locate the high-temperature sensor or thermal cut-out near the compressor. Check for loose mounting or damaged wiring. Replace if it trips prematurely according to Grundig specifications.

Note: After correcting airflow issues, allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes before restarting.
