Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before further use.
Steps to prevent overheating:
- Improve airflow: Move the Silonn ice maker away from walls and other appliances to provide at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance on all sides.
- Clean vents and condenser: Remove dust from air inlets and the condenser coil.
- Check fan: Confirm the condenser fan motor runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace if it is slow, noisy, or not running.
- Reduce ambient temperature: Use the unit in a cooler room if possible.
When to call a professional: If the unit still shuts off quickly after cooling and cleaning, the compressor may be overheating internally and requires professional diagnosis.
