Ice maker stops after a few minutes and then restarts repeatedly

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Overheating compressor due to dirty condenser, Faulty temperature sensor, Loose power connection, Main PCB fault

Safety: Unplug before cleaning or tightening connections.

Clean condenser and fan: Remove dust and ensure the fan runs freely to prevent compressor overheating.
Check ambient temperature: Move the unit to a cooler, well-ventilated location if it is in a confined or hot area.
Inspect wiring: Check for loose power and sensor connectors on the main PCB.
Monitor operation: After cleaning and tightening, observe a full cycle. If short cycling continues, a technician should evaluate the compressor and control board.
