OVERLOAD GUIDE
ELECTRICAL
High or low voltage weak power lines can cause overloads on icemaker restarts
High running current. Check motor circuits and start relay - Auger delay failed.
ICEMAKER
Mechanical parts worn. Scored evaporator or auger. Worn thrust bearing.
Ice maker not turning off. Failed ice level control.
Over compression. Low water inlet temperature. Restriction in water line from
reservoir.
REFRIGERANT
Contaminated charge or bad compressor.
Low charge or gas leak.
Low suction pressure. Improper expansion valve sensing bulb. Location or insulation
and/or defective expansion valve
