How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the Klarstein ice maker before tightening screws or touching moving parts.
- Level the unit: Ensure the ice maker is on a stable, level surface. Adjust feet if provided.
- Check for loose parts: Gently shake the cabinet and listen for rattles. Tighten any loose screws on panels or brackets.
- Isolate noise source: Run the unit with the cover removed (if safe) and listen to identify whether the noise comes from the fan, pump, or tray motor.
- Replace noisy components: A grinding or squealing fan or pump should be replaced. A clicking/grinding during tray rotation suggests a worn tray motor gear set.
Persistent loud humming from the compressor with no cooling indicates a serious compressor issue requiring a technician.
