Possible Causes
Inverter compressor fault, Inverter PCB failure, Overload or locked compressor, Power supply issue to compressor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before touching compressor or inverter components. These circuits carry high voltage.
Steps:
- Power reset: Disconnect power for at least 5 minutes, then restore. Sometimes transient faults clear with a reset.
- Ventilation check: Ensure the refrigerator has adequate clearance around the sides and back. Overheating can trigger compressor protection and stop cooling, which halts ice production.
- Condenser cleaning: Clean dust from the condenser coils and fan at the back or underneath the unit. Poor heat dissipation can cause compressor overload.
- Professional service: If 84C persists, the compressor or inverter PCB may be failing. These are sealed-system/high-voltage components and should be serviced only by a qualified technician.
Until cooling is restored, the ice maker will not function.
