How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before checking electrical connections.

  • Check ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the Zanussi ice maker and that vents are not blocked.
  • Inspect mains cord and plug: Look for signs of overheating or loose fit in the socket. Replace damaged cords and use a dedicated outlet.
  • Check internal connections: With power off, inspect the terminal block and main board connectors for loose screws or burnt terminals. Tighten and replace as needed.
  • Monitor operation: After reassembly, run the unit and monitor compressor temperature. If it overheats and stops repeatedly, a technician should evaluate the compressor and high-limit thermostat.
