Possible Causes
Faulty internal power supply on main PCB, Shorted compressor or fan motor, Loose mains connection, Overheating control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before inspection. Mains voltage is hazardous.
- 1. Try a different outlet: Plug the ice maker directly into a known-good wall socket without extension leads.
- 2. Inspect mains plug and cord: Check for loose pins or damage. Replace the power cord if suspect.
- 3. Check for overheating: Remove the rear panel and inspect the main control PCB for signs of overheating or burnt components.
- 4. Isolate loads: If you are technically skilled, disconnect non-essential loads (fan, pump) one at a time to see if the unit stabilises, indicating a shorted component.
- 5. Replace faulty parts: Replace any shorted motor (e.g., condenser fan motor) or the main control PCB if the power supply section is unstable.
