Ice maker stops mid-cycle and restarts repeatedly without completing a full ice cycle.

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

Loose mains connection, Failing main PCB power supply, Overheating causing thermal cut-out, Faulty compressor overload protector

Safety: Unplug before inspecting internal components.

Steps:

1. Check power source: Plug the unit directly into a wall outlet (no extension cord) to ensure stable power.
2. Improve ventilation: Ensure good airflow around the unit to prevent overheating.
3. Inspect PCB: Look for bulging capacitors or burnt areas on the main control board.
4. Monitor compressor: If the compressor runs briefly then stops repeatedly, the overload protector or compressor may be failing and needs professional attention.
