Possible Causes
Failed main control board, open thermal fuse in power harness, faulty power cord, defective on/off rocker switch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker from the wall outlet before removing any panels. Do not work on live circuits.
- Check outlet and cord: Plug a lamp or phone charger into the same outlet to confirm power. Inspect the Ikea ice maker power cord for cuts, burns, or loose plug blades. Replace the cord if damaged.
- Verify power switch: Locate the on/off rocker or push-button switch on the control panel or side. With power disconnected, remove the front or top cover (usually Phillips screws). Check that the switch connectors are firmly seated on the switch terminals. If the switch feels loose, cracked, or does not click, replace the switch.
- Inspect internal fuse/thermal fuse: Many Ikea-branded ice makers (often OEM by Whirlpool/Electrolux) have an inline thermal fuse or board-mounted fuse on the power input harness. Look for a small cylindrical or rectangular fuse near the power entry. Test continuity with a multimeter; if open, replace with the exact rating.
- Check main control board: Visually inspect the control PCB for burnt spots, bulged capacitors, or darkened areas. Reseat all wire harnesses. If the unit still does not power on and the fuse, cord, and switch are good, the main control board is likely defective and should be replaced.
- Reassemble and test: Refit covers, restore power, and turn the unit on. If there is still no response, contact a qualified technician for board-level diagnostics.
