Page 22: How The Machine Uses The Water
How the machine uses the water The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the water trough. As the water flows to the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not contain mineral impurities freezes and sticks to the ice cube molds. - Page 23 The PC board activates the water drain pump for 20 • seconds pumping out most of the water contained into the water reservoir.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CAUTION If the ice maker is left unused for a long time, before the next use it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow carefully any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solutions. Do not leave any solution inside the ice maker after cleaning. -
Page 26: Interior Cleaning
Interior cleaning The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the ice maker is used first time and reused after stopping for an extended period of time.

Turn off the power button, gently take out the water distribution tube, locate the holes in the distribution tube and use a pointed object such as a toothpick to dredge the holes. - Page 28 WARNING The ice machine cleaner contains acids. DO NOT use or mix with any other solvent-based cleaner products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the material safety instructions on the container of the ice machine cleaner. Discard the first batch of ice produced after cleaning.

Do you have a question about the TIM1501 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Thor makes ice once or twice then shuts off so ice melts and nothing is there next time I look. I turn it on again and it starts to work, only to shut off at some point. It used to work!!! I shut it off and cleaned it out to go on vacation. Don’t know if this caused trouble?! I am getting very frustrated!!!
The THOR TIM1501 ice maker could shut off after making ice due to the following reasons:
1. The ice storage bin is full – remove some ice cubes and ensure the ice-full probe is not covered with ice.
2. The temperature is outside the stated range – the machine disconnects until the temperature returns to normal.
3. Electrical grounding issue – ensure the socket meets grounding requirements.

My ice maker has started to make a high pitched noise whilst making ice.
Some users have reported that the Thor Kitchen TIM1501 ice maker is very loud during operation, comparing the noise to a jet engine or a push mower when the compressor turns on. This could be due to the unit’s design or components used in the ice-making process. If the noise is excessive, it may be a normal characteristic of the model, or there could be an issue with the compressor or other internal parts.
