Possible Causes

Blocked condenser coil, Failed condenser fan motor, Ambient temperature too high, Faulty high-temperature sensor or thermal switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before servicing.

  • Clean condenser coil: Access the rear or bottom of the ice maker. Use a soft brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint from the condenser fins. Do not bend the fins.
  • Verify ventilation: Ensure the ice maker has the required clearance around all sides and is not installed in a confined, unventilated space. Move it if necessary.
  • Check condenser fan: Confirm the fan spins freely and runs whenever the compressor is on. If not, test and replace the fan motor.
  • Inspect temperature sensor: Locate the high-temperature sensor or thermal switch near the compressor or condenser. Check for secure mounting and intact wiring. Replace if it trips prematurely or reads incorrectly.
  • Reset and test: After cleaning and repairs, restore power and monitor operation to ensure the error does not recur.
