How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit before touching moving parts.

Noise troubleshooting:

Identify source: Listen carefully to locate whether the noise comes from the ice-making area, rear (compressor/fan), or bottom (pump).
Check harvest assembly: Open the ice compartment and look for jammed ice around the ejector arm or rake. Remove any obstructions.
Inspect fan: Remove the rear panel and check that the condenser fan blade is tight on the motor shaft and not hitting shrouds or wiring.
Check pump: Access the circulation pump and feel for excessive play or grinding when turning the impeller by hand. Replace the pump if noisy.
Tighten mounts: Verify compressor mounting bolts and rubber grommets are secure to reduce vibration.

Ice maker is making loud grinding or rattling noises during operation.
