How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Ensure the outlet is not live before touching bare wires.

Troubleshooting steps:

  • Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another device or a voltage tester.
  • Inspect cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections on the power cord. Replace if damaged.
  • Check breaker/GFCI: Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets supplying the ice maker.
  • Inspect internal fuse: Unplug the unit, access the main control board, and check for a small fuse. Replace with the same rating if blown.
  • Replace control board: If power is present at the board but the unit remains dead, replace the Koldfront-compatible main control board.
