Ice maker starts a cycle then shuts off after a few minutes without making ice.

Safety: Unplug the unit before internal inspection.

• Ventilation and ambient: Ensure the unit has proper airflow and is not in a very hot environment. Move it to a cooler, well-ventilated area if needed.
• Power stability: Plug directly into a wall outlet without extension cords. Avoid circuits shared with heavy appliances.
• Sensor check: Inspect and test the cabinet and evaporator temperature sensors for correct resistance values. Replace any faulty sensors.
• Control board: If sensors and environment are good but the unit still shuts off early, the main control PCB may be defective and require replacement.
