How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power before adjusting or replacing components.
- Adjust thickness setting: Locate the ice thickness adjustment and turn it toward thinner per the Amana instructions.
- Clean and inspect sensor: Remove scale from the ice thickness sensor and ensure it is properly positioned relative to the evaporator plate.
- Run diagnostic harvest: Enter service mode and initiate a harvest cycle. Confirm that ice releases properly and that the hot gas valve energizes.
