Ice Maker breakdowns

Problems with programmer, valve and thermostat

You have noticed that ice is freezing in pieces on the evaporator. Defrost cycle does not start. First thing to do is to turn off and reset the unit.

• Evaporator thermostat. It signals the temperature in the chamber to the module. To perform the test, press the spring of the part from the back side. Measure the resistance with a multimeter. 
• Solenoid valve. The valve shuts off the flow of refrigerant to the evaporator to freeze the liquid. It opens before starting the defrost, allowing hot flow into the evaporator.
