Possible Causes

Control board design requires manual start, Firmware not supporting auto-restart, Power button state not retained

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure power is stable before restarting.

  • Manual restart: After power is restored, press the Power button to resume operation.
  • Avoid switched outlets: Plug the unit into a non-switched outlet to prevent accidental power loss.
  • Use surge protection: A surge protector can help prevent control board damage during outages.
  • Note: Many compact Insignia ice makers are not designed to auto-restart; this is normal behavior and not a fault.
