Ice maker does not fill with water; pump runs dry and no water reaches the evaporator.

Safety: Turn off the water supply and unplug the unit before disconnecting hoses.

Steps:

• Verify water supply: Confirm the household shutoff valve is open and water pressure is adequate.
• Inspect inlet hose: Check for kinks or sharp bends. Straighten or replace the hose if damaged.
• Clean inlet screen: At the rear of the unit where the hose connects, remove the hose and inspect the small screen filter inside the inlet valve. Rinse away debris.
• Test inlet valve: If the valve does not open when the unit calls for water (you should hear a click and water flow), the solenoid may be faulty. Replace the water inlet valve assembly.

Note: Always use potable water and avoid connecting to hot water lines.
