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.
