How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and remove the ice basket before accessing the pump.
- Prime the pump: After refilling, tilt the unit slightly backward and forward to help remove air pockets from the pump intake.
- Check wiring: Access the pump area and ensure the pump connector is firmly attached to the wiring harness.
- Inspect impeller: Remove the pump cover and check that the impeller spins freely. Clean any debris.
- Test operation: Reassemble, plug in, and start a cycle. Listen for the pump motor. If silent and no water movement is seen, the pump is likely defective.
Replace the water circulation pump if it does not run despite correct wiring and priming.
