How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before reseating connectors.
- Inspect harness: Check the wiring harness from the cabinet to the ice maker for loose plugs or damaged insulation. Reseat all connectors.
- Check hinge wiring: At the top hinge (for door-mounted ice), inspect the flexing harness for broken conductors. Repair or replace if damaged.
- Monitor temperature: Verify stable freezer and ice room temperatures. Replace thermistors if readings fluctuate abnormally.
- Replace ice maker: If wiring and sensors are good but intermittent operation continues, replace the ice maker assembly.
