Possible Causes

Unit in standby or clean mode, full bin sensor stuck in 'full' position, door switch not registering closed, control board logic fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Confirm the unit is not in a special mode (such as cleaning or standby). Use the control panel to select normal ice making mode per the Marvel user manual.
  • Empty the ice bin and ensure the bin is properly seated. Check the bin sensor or thermistor for ice buildup and clean it.
  • Verify that the door closes fully and that the door switch operates (interior light should turn off when door is closed on many models).
  • Disconnect power for 5–10 minutes to reset the control. Restore power and see if the unit initiates a cycle.
  • If the unit still does not start and no error code is displayed, the main control board or a safety sensor may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
