How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when working with electrical circuits. If unsure, contact an electrician or technician.

Steps to restore power:

  • 1. Check breaker and outlet: Verify the circuit breaker is not tripped and that the outlet has power by testing with another appliance.
  • 2. Inspect power cord: Ensure the cord is fully plugged in and not damaged. Replace if the insulation is cut or the plug is loose.
  • 3. Check internal fuse (if equipped): Some Sub-Zero ice makers have an internal fuse on the control board. Disconnect power, access the control, and inspect/replace the fuse with the same rating.
  • 4. Door/bin switch: Verify the bin door is closed and the switch is functioning. A failed switch can sometimes prevent operation.
  • 5. Control board: If power is present at the terminal block but the unit is dead, the control board may have failed and require replacement.
