How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before inspection.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the unit and clean the condenser coil.
- Check power cord and plug: Wiggle the cord gently at the plug and entry point (with power off) to detect looseness. Replace if suspect.
- Compressor overload: Inspect the overload protector for signs of overheating. Replace if it trips frequently under normal conditions.
- Monitor operation: After cleaning and tightening, run the unit and observe whether shutdowns continue. If so, the control board may be failing intermittently.
- Board replacement: Replace the main PCB if all other causes are ruled out.
