Ice maker trips the household circuit breaker or GFCI outlet.

Warning: This involves potentially dangerous electrical faults. If you are not experienced, contact a qualified technician.

Steps:

• Inspect the power cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace if damaged.
• Check for signs of water leaks near electrical components such as the control board, pump, or compressor connections. Repair leaks and dry components thoroughly.
• Unplug the unit and use a multimeter to check major components (compressor, heater, pump) for shorts to ground.
• If a component is shorted, replace it before attempting to power the unit again.
• If no obvious fault is found, the main control board or internal wiring may be compromised and should be inspected by a professional.
