How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately unplug the ice maker and do not use it until inspected. Risk of fire exists.

Inspection:

  • Visual check: Remove panels and look for burnt wiring, discolored connectors, or scorched PCB areas.
  • Check fans: Ensure all fans spin freely and are not stalled, which can cause overheating.
  • Clean dust: Remove dust from the condenser and electronics compartment to improve cooling.
  • Replace damaged parts: Any burnt wiring, connectors, or boards must be replaced. If you are not qualified, contact a SMEG service technician.
