Possible Causes
Unit set to standby or cleaning mode, Door or bin switch open, Active error not cleared, Faulty start relay on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing switches or relays.
Steps:
- Check mode: Ensure the SMEG ice maker is not in standby, vacation, or cleaning mode. Set to normal ice-making mode.
- Verify door/bin closure: Confirm all doors and bins are fully closed and that their switches operate correctly.
- Clear errors: If any error icons are displayed, follow the manual to clear them or resolve underlying issues.
- Relay/board check: If all conditions are normal but the compressor and pumps never start, the main PCB start relay may be faulty and require replacement.
