How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before touching moving parts or metal tubing.

  • Level the unit: Use a spirit level to ensure the ice maker is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust leveling feet as needed.
  • Tighten hardware: Check and tighten all accessible mounting screws for panels, compressor brackets, and internal components.
  • Secure tubing: If copper lines are touching each other or the cabinet, gently bend or pad them with foam to prevent rattling.
  • Inspect fans and pump: Spin the condenser fan and circulation pump impeller by hand. Replace if noisy, rough, or loose.
