Section 2 - Troubleshooting
Low ice production.
1. Control set too cold.
2. Fan motor stalled.
3. Ice cubes too large.
4. Dirty condenser.
5. Bypass valve stuck open (Frost Free units only).
1. Adjust control warmer (counterclockwise).
2. Replace fan motor.
3. Lower water fill adjustment.
4. Clean condenser.
5. Replace bypass valve (Frost Free units only).
Not freezing (compressor and fan motors
operating).
1. Little or no frost pattern on evaporator.
2. Bypass valve stuck open (Frost Free units only).
1. Check for sealed system leak or restriction.
2. Replace bypass valve (Frost Free units only).
Not freezing (compressor not operating - fans
operating).
1. Relay inoperable.
2. Overload inoperable (open).
3. Compressor inoperable.
1. Replace relay.
2. Replace overload.
3. Replace compressor.
Not freezing (compressor and fans not
operating).
1. Power cord not plugged in.
2. On/Off switch in off position.
3. On/Off switch inoperable (open).
4. Hold switch inoperable (open).
5. Control inoperable (2-3 contacts open).
6. Broken wire in freeze circuit.
7. Ejector blades not in freeze position (12:00)
1. Plug in power cord.
2. Turn switch to on position.
3. Replace On/Off switch.
4. Replace hold switch.
5. Replace control.
6. Repair or replace wiring.
7. Manually advance ejector blades to the 12:00 position (test ice maker and
limit switch).
Compressor overheating.
1. Condenser air flow restricted.
2. Condenser fan blade obstructed.
3. Condenser fan motor stalled.
4. Compressor inoperable.
1. Remove restriction (clean condenser and grille).
2. Remove blade restriction.
3. Replace fan motor.
4. Replace compressor.
Compressor will not stop operating.
1. Control set too cold.
2. Control inoperable (2-3 contacts will not open).
3. Control sensing bulb not sensing mold temperature.
4. Evaporator fan stalled (Frost Free units only).
1. Adjust control warmer (counterclockwise).
2. Replace control.
3. Fully insert bulb into ice maker tube. Rout bulb away from compressor
discharge tube.
4. Remove obstruction or replace motor.
