How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Immediately unplug the ice maker. Do not attempt to restart it until the cause is identified. If smoke is heavy, ventilate the area.

Steps:

  • 1. Visual inspection: After the unit cools, remove covers and look for charred components, melted plastic, or burnt wiring.
  • 2. Identify failed part: Common sources include the main control board, water pump, fan motor, or compressor start components.
  • 3. Replace damaged components: Any visibly burnt part must be replaced with the correct Vremi replacement. Do not tape over or ignore burnt wiring.

Warning: Because fire risk is involved, if you are unsure of the damage extent, have a professional technician inspect the unit.
