TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your ice maker will not operate
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Is the room temperature
cooler than normal? Room
temperature must be above 55°F (13°C). Otherwise, bin
thermostat may sense cold room temperature
and shut off
even though the bin is not full of ice. Also, unit may not restart
once it does shut off.
Does the green light come on when the Clean button is
pushed? The ice maker is receiving power but may need
cleaning. See "Cleaning."
Does the ice maker have a drain pump? If there was a large
amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few minutes
for the drain pump to clear. If there is still water in the bin,
check to see whether the drain hose is kinked.
Ice maker seems noisy
•
Is water being circulated through the ice maker? This is
normal operation. Water is added once per ice-making cycle.
Is the water in the reservoir overflowing? This is normal.
This overflow helps to purge minerals that were removed from
the water during the ice making process.
•
Is there a "whooshing"
sound? Check the following things:
•
Is the power cord plugged
in? Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
•
Is the control
set to ON? Be sure that the control is set to
ON.
•
Has a household
fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician.
•
Make sure that the water supply is hooked up and turned
on.
•
Make sure that the drain cap is tight and the water drain
pan pump is securely attached to the water pan.
Is there ice between the evaporator
plate and the cutting
grid? Check to be sure that the ice maker is level. See
"Leveling." If the ice maker is level, and the problem persists,
run a cleaning cycle. See "Cleaning."
