TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Unit does not run

Is the control set to ICE? Be sure that the control is set to ICE.

Is the power cord plugged in? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.

Is the temperature cooler than normal? Ambient temperature must be above 45°F (7°C). Otherwise, bin thermostat may sense cold ambient temperature and shut off even though bin is not full of ice. Also, unit may not restart once it does shut off.

Unit runs but produces no ice

Is the control set to ICE? Be sure that the control is set to ICE.

Is the water supply connected? Make sure the water supply is properly connected and turned on.

Unit runs but produces very little ice

Is the temperature hotter than normal? Ambient temperatures of more than 100°F (37°C) will normally reduce ice production.

Is the condenser dirty? Dirt or lint may be blocking the airflow through the condenser. See the “Condenser” section.
