PROBLEM
Odor in the cabinet
Unit operates but does not
produce any ice.
Small ice cubes
Noisy operation
Ice cubes are sticking
together.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The unit needs to be cleaned.
The unit has just been started and it has
been less than 24 hours.
Water supply is not turned on.
Inadequate water pressure to unit
The icemaker shut-off arm is in the
uppermost position.
Freezer section has not reached
temperature.
Thermostat control knob set too warm.
Blower inlet and/or outlet is restricted.
Condenser fan air flow is restricted.
Room and/or water temperature is too
warm.
Water input may require adjustment
Cabinet not level
Weak floor structure
Water line tubing vibration
Ice consumption is low.
Room temperature is too warm.
CORRECTION
Clean the interior using a solution of baking
soda and warm water or water and mild soap.
Typical ice production is 2 lbs per day. Allow
for the freezer section to reach temperature
and the icemaker to cycle and accumulate ice.
Turn on water supply to the unit.
Water pressure to the unit must be at a
minimum of 20 psi.
When the icemaker shut-off arm is in the
uppermost position, the icemaker is off. Flip
the shut-off arm down to turn on the icemaker.
Allow the freezer section to reach temperature.
Turn the temperature control knob to a higher
number to allow the unit to run colder. Allow 24
hours before readjusting the temperature
control.
Keep blower area clear from commodities for
proper operation.
Make certain the grille in the front of the unit is
free and open for proper air circulation. Check
and clean the condenser coil by removing the
grille in the front of the unit. Clean the
condenser with a vacuum and brush
attachment.
Move the unit to an area where ambient
temperature is below 90 deg. F. The unit
should not be placed next to a heat source
such as an oven. Check for cold water
connection.
Due to differing water pressures, the icemaker
water input may require adjustment.
Adjust the leveling legs on the unit.
The unit must be located on a sound and
sturdy floor for proper operation
Adjust the tubing as necessary to prevent
unwanted vibrations.
Use the ice in the bin frequently. Ice will stick
together if left in insulated bin over long
periods of time.
Move the unit to an area where temperature is
below 90 deg. F.
