How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips immediately; this indicates a potentially dangerous fault.
- Inspect cord and plug: Unplug the unit and check for visible damage, burns, or exposed wires.
- Dry the unit: If the ice maker has been exposed to water spills, allow it to dry completely for at least 24 hours in a warm, dry room.
- Test on another circuit: Plug into a different, properly grounded outlet to rule out a faulty socket (only if the cord appears undamaged).
- If tripping continues: An internal short (compressor, fan, PCB) is likely. Do not use the appliance until it has been professionally inspected and repaired.
