How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the ice maker before inspecting moving parts.

Steps:

  • 1. Identify noise source: Remove the rear cover and briefly plug in the unit to listen carefully (keep hands clear). Determine if the noise comes from the condenser fan motor or the water circulation pump.
  • 2. Check for obstructions: Ensure no wires or debris are rubbing against the fan blades. Adjust routing as needed.
  • 3. Replace noisy motor: If the fan or pump makes persistent squealing or grinding, replace the affected motor with the correct Vremi replacement part.

Note: Lubricating sealed motors is generally not effective; replacement is the proper fix.
