How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing the pump.
- Access pump: Remove the front panel and ice bin. Locate the circulation pump in the reservoir area.
- Inspect for debris: Remove the pump cover or inlet screen and clear any debris or scale buildup.
- Bleed air: Refill the reservoir and tilt the unit slightly if needed to help purge air from the pump.
- Test pump: With the pump disconnected, measure motor resistance. If open, replace the pump. Briefly apply power (following safety procedures) to confirm operation.
