lubricated at the factory. They should not require any additional
oiling throughout the normal life of the machine.
The ice maker must be shut down if temperatures drop below
45°F (7°C). Additionally, if temperatures drop below 32°F (0°C)
the water must be drained completely from the ice maker and all
water lines to avoid damage.

Is the control set to ICE? Be sure that the control is set to
ICE.
Is the power cord plugged in? Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
B
Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit.

temperature must be above 45°F (7°C). Otherwise, bin
thermostat may sense cold ambient temperature and shut off
even though bin is not full of ice. Also, unit may not restart
once it does shut off.
Unit runs but produces no ice
Is the control set to ICE? Be sure that the control is set to
ICE.
Is the water supply connected? Make sure the water supply
is properly connected and turned on.
Unit runs but produces very little ice
Is the temperature hotter than normal? Ambient
temperatures of more than 100°F (37°C) will normally reduce
ice production.
