TrOuBLESHOOTING GuIdE
POSSIBLE CAUSE
2. The grid-cutter is not plugged into the
receptacle.
3. Time to cut through the slab.
1. Ice consumption is low.
2. Room temperature is too warm.
1. The Ice Maker is not level.
2. Room temperature is too warm.
3. Ice deflector is not in place or secured
properly.
4. Bin level sensing tube needs adjusted.
1. The Ice Maker is not level.
2. Room temperature is too cold.
3. The selector switch is not in the "ON"
position.
1. Inadequate drain system.
2. Foreign material in ice bin drain.
1. Drain pump tubing kinked or restrict-
ed.
2. Inlet screen to the drain pump is re-
stricted or blocked.
3. Drain pump and/or the Ice Maker are
not level.
1. Vent line to the drain pump is restrict-
ed or kinked.
Remove the escutcheon panel and plug
cutter-grid into the receptacle on the
side of the line.
It can take up to 35 minutes to cut
through a harvested ice slab. This is
normal operation.
Use the ice in the bin frequently. Ice will
stick together if left in an insulated bin
over long periods of time.
Move the unit to an area where tempera-
ture is below 90 degrees F.
Use a level to check the unit for level
from side-to-side and front-to-back.
Move the unit to an area where tempera-
ture is below 90 degrees F.
Check to see that the ice deflector is in
place and secured below the cutter-grid.
You can adjust the bin level sensing tube
by simply pressing directly down on the
tube five inches from the front of the
tube to get a desired bin level.
Use a level to check the unit for level
from side-to-side and front-to-back.
Move the unit to an area where tempera-
ture is above 55 degrees F.
Set the rocker switch on the grill of the
ice Maker to the "ON" position.
Restriction or improperly installed drain
lines will cause water to back up into the
ice bin. Make certain there are no kinks
or restrictions in the drain lines. If neces-
sary, consult a qualified plumber.
Foreign material is restricting or blocking
the ice bin drain located at the right rear
corner of the ice bin. The drain will need
to be cleared.
Check inlet, discharge, and vent line tub-
ing for any kinks or restrictions and repair
as necessary.
Clean the inlet screen to the drain pump.
Check and level, if necessary, the drain
pump as well as the Ice Maker.
Check the vent line for any restrictions or
kinks and repair as necessary.
