Ice maker displays error and compressor does not start

Safety: Unplug the ice maker before accessing the compressor compartment.

• Access compressor: Remove the lower rear panel to expose the compressor, start relay, and overload.
• Inspect wiring: Check for burned or loose wires at the compressor terminals and relay. Repair any damaged connectors.
• Test start relay: Remove the relay and shake it gently; if it rattles or shows burn marks, replace it. Measure resistance per the tech sheet.
• Check overload: Test the overload protector for continuity. Replace if open when cool.
• Evaluate compressor: If new start components do not start the compressor and it draws locked-rotor current or trips the overload, the compressor is likely seized and requires professional replacement.
