Compact icemaker:
If the ejector is at the 9 o'clock position and the freezer and ice are down to the re-
quired temperature but the icemaker won't advance into a harvest cycle, the thermo-
stat is at fault.
If the freezer and ice are down to temperature but the ejector has not advanced much
past the 9 o'clock position, the hold switch is not making.
An ejector stopped at the 4 o'clock position indicates an open heater or defective
heater circuit.
An ejector stopped at any position other than 9 or 4 o'clock may indicate motor prob-
lems, stripped gears or broken or missing parts.
Modular Icemaker
If the ejector is at the 1:30 o'clock position and the freezer and ice are down to the
required temperature but the icemaker won't advance into a harvest cycle, the ther-
mostat is at fault.
An ejector stalled at the 4 o'clock position indicates heater circuit problems.
An ejector stopped at any position other than 1:30 or 4 o'clock may indicate motor
problems or bad wiper contacts on the icemaker gear.
Check the feeler arm. The arm should move freely and a click should be heard
when the arm is moved to its upper most position. A binding arm can cause the mo-
tor to stall. A bent or distorted arm can cause the ice bucket to overfill or prematurely
turn the icemaker off before the bucket is full.
