How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing panels. Refrigerant system repairs require a licensed technician.
Basic checks:
- Verify the unit is in ICE mode and not in cleaning or standby.
- Ensure the room temperature is within the specified range (typically 50–90°F / 10–32°C).
- Confirm the condenser fan runs when the unit attempts to make ice.
Check compressor operation:
- After 5–10 minutes of operation, carefully feel the compressor casing. It should be warm and vibrating slightly if running.
- If the compressor is cold and silent while the fan runs, suspect a failed start relay, overload, or control board.
- If the compressor is very hot but no cooling occurs on the evaporator, the sealed system may have lost refrigerant or the compressor is weak.
Next steps:
- Replace a faulty condenser fan or compressor start relay/overload if identified.
- If the sealed system is suspected (no frost on evaporator, compressor very hot or cycling on overload), contact a professional; do not attempt to open refrigerant lines yourself.
