Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Before any work, ensure your hands are dry and the area around the outlet is not wet.
External checks:
- Verify outlet: Plug a lamp or small appliance into the same outlet to confirm it has power.
- Check breaker/GFCI: Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets feeding the ice maker.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections on the Summit ice maker's cord. If damaged, replace the power cord assembly.
Internal checks (if comfortable):
- Unplug the unit and remove the rear or lower panel to access the main control board.
- Check the onboard fuse (if present) for continuity. Replace with the same rating if blown and investigate for shorts.
- If the board shows burn marks or swollen components, replace the main control board.
Call a professional if you are not experienced with electrical testing or if replacing the cord/fuse does not restore power.
