IceKing ice maker starts a cycle then shuts off after a short time without making ice.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or inspecting sensors.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Ensure ventilation: Confirm that air vents are clear and the unit has proper clearance.
• 2. Check door/bin switch: Make sure the bin door stays fully closed during operation and the door switch is not loose.
• 3. Inspect sensors: Check wiring to the evaporator and ambient thermistors for damage or loose connections.
• 4. Reset unit: Unplug for 5 minutes, then restart. If the issue repeats, a sensor or control board may be faulty.

When to call a technician: A technician can read sensor values and determine whether the control board or sensors need replacement.
