Possible Cause
Solution
Ice machine is not
operating.
On-Off switch in “Off” position
Move switch to “On” position.
No power at ice machine. Circuit protector
open.
Replace fuse or reset breaker. Check
circuit for overload condition.
Ice machine off because bin is full of ice.
Use ice or move ice away from bin level
probe.
Ice machine off because bin level probe is
defective.
Replace bin level probe.
Ice machine off as if bin is full. Ambient
temp below 50°F (10°C).
Ambient temperature must be 60°F
(15°C) minimum.
Compressor is not op-
erating. Water pump
and other components
are operating normally.
See compressor test
procedure for more
information.
Ice-Clean switch in “Clean” position.
Move switch to “Ice” position.
High pressure cut-out open on air cooled
models. Condenser dirty.
Clean condenser and reset high pres-
sure cut-out. Confirm proper operating
pressures.
High pressure cut-out open on air cooled
models. Air circulation through condens
-
er is insufficient or hot air is recalculating
through the condenser.
Provide adequate spacing between the
ice machine and walls, ceilings or other
equipment. See installation instructions
for spacing requirements. Confirm prop

-
sure voltage at contactor while com-
pressor is running. Correct power supply
problem if voltage is lower than specified
on the ice machine electrical plate. See
compressor test procedure for more
information.
Compressor thermal protector open be-
cause of defective run capacitor.
Replace run capacitor. See compressor
test procedure for more information.
Contactor is defective.
Check for voltage at coil terminals. Re
-
place contactor if it does not close when
the coil is energized.
Compressor start capacitor or relay defec-
tive
Test and replace these parts if defective.
