RCA ice maker starts a cycle but stops partway through and resets repeatedly.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspection.

• Step 1 – Secure power connection: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and the cord is not being pulled or flexed excessively.
• Step 2 – Improve ventilation: Make sure vents are not blocked and the unit is not in an enclosed cabinet. Overheating can cause resets.
• Step 3 – Inspect internal wiring: Remove the cover and check for loose connectors on the control board, compressor, fan, and pump.
• Step 4 – Component isolation: If you notice resets when a specific component (like the pump) starts, that part may be shorted and should be replaced.
• Step 5 – Replace control board: If all components test good but resets continue, replace the main control board.
