Ice Machine does not run, it has
power to it, the high pressure
control is closed, the on/off switch is

opens, but the pump should be
working if there is no ice in the bin).

A. Listen for a ticking sound from
transducer.

If no noise, go to C. If there is a
noise, check for a light on the board
(models built after 4/93). If there is a
light on, check relay contacts N.O.
and COM. The contacts should be
CLOSED. If closed, go to D. If not,
replace the board. If light is off, or
prior model, go to B.

B. Open bin door and twist
transducer 1/4 turn and pull out.
