Symptom
Ice has a bad taste or odor, even though cubes look normal.
Contaminated Water Path / Odor Transfer
Symptom
Ice maker does not power on at all; no lights, no display, no sounds.
No Power / Power Supply Failure
Symptom
Ice maker forms ice on the evaporator, but ice does not drop into the bin.

Symptom
Ice maker is very noisy during operation; rattling, buzzing, or grinding sounds are heard.
Excessive Operational Noise
Symptom
Ice maker leaks water onto the floor from underneath.
External Water Leak
Symptom
Ice maker overfills the bin; ice spills out of the door or bin area.

Symptom
Ice maker produces ice, but ice cubes are very small or thin.
Insufficient Water Fill / Thin Ice Production
Symptom
Ice maker runs but produces no ice at all; evaporator does not get cold.
Complete Loss of Cooling
Symptom
Ice maker starts a cycle but stops partway through and resets repeatedly.
Intermittent Operation / Control Reset
Symptom
Ice maker vibrates excessively or moves on the floor during operation.
Excessive Vibration
Symptom
