The ice machine will not start until:

1. The compressor rocker switch is moved to “ON”.

2. Ice does not contact the bin level sensor.

3. The water reservoir is full of water.

With power supplied and the compressor rocker switch in the ON position, the gear motor and refrigeration system start. The float valve controls the water inlet valve and water level. The freeze cycle ends when the ice contacts the ice bin level sensor.

NOTE: Ice machines use an auger to remove ice from the evaporator. Occasional noises (creaks, groans, squeaks, or pops) are a normal part of the ice making process.
