How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before further testing.
- Improve ventilation: Move the unit away from walls and heat sources. Ensure vents are not blocked.
- Clean condenser and fan: Remove dust and lint from the condenser coil and fan blades to improve cooling.
- Test on different outlet: Plug the ice maker into a different, dedicated outlet to rule out voltage drops or interference from other appliances.
- Observe operation: After cooling, run the unit and monitor whether it completes a full cycle. If it repeatedly shuts down when the compressor heats up, the overload or compressor may be failing.
Persistent cycling issues often require professional diagnosis of the compressor and control board.
