Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the unit is unplugged before opening any covers. Only attempt internal electrical checks if you are competent and have the correct tools.
- Check outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance to confirm it has power.
- Inspect power cord: Examine the Salter ice maker's power cord for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Do not use the unit if the cord is damaged.
- Try a different socket: Plug the unit directly into a different wall outlet, avoiding extension leads.
- Check power switch: Ensure the main power switch (if fitted) is firmly in the ON position and not loose or wobbly.
- Internal fuse (advanced): Remove the rear cover and locate the small glass or ceramic fuse on the main PCB. If visibly blown, replace with the exact same rating. If it blows again immediately, stop and seek professional service.
If there is still no sign of life, the main control PCB or power supply circuit is likely faulty and should be replaced by a technician.
