Ice maker emits a burning smell or hot plastic odor during operation.

Critical safety: Immediately unplug the Zanussi ice maker and do not continue using it until inspected. Risk of fire or electric shock.

• Visual inspection: Remove rear and lower panels to look for discolored, melted, or burnt wiring and components.
• Check fans: Ensure both evaporator and condenser fans spin freely and are not overheating. Replace any motor that smells burnt or runs very hot.
• Inspect wiring harness: Look for signs of arcing at connectors, especially near the compressor, heater (if fitted), and control board. Repair or replace damaged harness sections.
• Professional evaluation: If you cannot clearly identify and correct the source, contact an authorized Zanussi service technician before using the appliance again.
