Reasons why the ice maker is not dispensing water

As a common refrigeration equipment, if the ice maker does not produce water, there may be multiple reasons. Some minor issues can be resolved by yourself, but if you cannot solve them, you should promptly find a repairman to handle them to avoid affecting normal use. The following are some possible reasons for the ice maker not producing water.

I. The machine is running but no ice is produced.

1. The water tray does not have enough water or no water.

2. Reducer failure or problems with the deceleration motor.

3. Ice blockage or system failure causing water flow obstruction.

II. Reduced ice production.

1. Capillary or expansion valve blockage.

2. Excessive moisture in the system resulting in minor ice blockage.

3. Blockage in the ice maker condensing system.

4. Insufficient refrigerant or leaks.

5. Evaporator is too dirty.

III. The compressor works intermittently.

1. The power supply voltage is too low, and the power supply situation needs to be checked.

2. Burnout or poor contact of the contact points.

3. System pressure protection causes the compressor to work intermittently.

4. The compressor starter is faulty.

5. The condenser is too dirty, resulting in high-pressure protection.

IV. The ice maker is leaking.

1. The water inlet valve has excessive water in the water tray.

2. The connected water pipe is damaged.

3. Faulty hose clamp.

4. Water level float valve failure.

V. Wet ice flakes are not hard.

1. The ambient temperature is too high, especially in summer.

2. Too much refrigerant has been added to the repaired machine.

3. The water supply volume of the ice maker split water tray is too large.

4. Insufficient compressor power.

VI. Excessive noise.

1. Ice maker fan malfunction.

2. Gearbox malfunction.

3. Compressor noise is too loud.

VII. System failure reported on startup.

1. Phase sequence problem.

2. Power supply system failure.

3. Control board failure.

VIII. Water shortage alarm.

1. Filter screen of the water supply joint is blocked.

2. Water supply pipe is blocked.

3. Inlet valve is blocked.

4. Drain valve is leaking.

5. Water pump malfunction.
