Possible Causes
Blown internal fuse, failed main control board, loose power harness, defective on/off switch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before opening any panels. Capacitors on the board may hold charge; avoid touching bare solder joints.
- Check power cord and strain relief: Inspect where the cord enters the Ikea ice maker. Tighten the strain relief and ensure no wires are pulled loose.
- Locate and test fuse: Many units have a small glass or ceramic fuse on the main control board or in-line with the power harness. Remove and test for continuity. Replace only with the same type and rating.
- Inspect on/off switch: Access the switch behind the control panel. Test continuity when switched on. Replace the switch if it does not close properly.
- Board replacement: If fuse and switch are good but there is still no power to the display, replace the main control board.
