Troubleshooting Guide; Ice Quality - AGA marvel 30iMT Instructions D'installation, D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Before calling a service provider try the trouble shooting
suggestions below.
Ice Machine Operation
Ice machine does not operate
Is the ice machine's power cord plugged in? Plug the
power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Is the selector switch in the front grille set to the "ON"
position? Check the switch to be sure it is in the "ON"
position.
Is a fuse blown or a circuit breaker been tripped? Re-
place a blown fuse or reset a tripped circuit breaker.
Is the temperature of the room cooler than it normally
is? The minimum room temperature is 55°F (13°C). The
bin thermistor may be sensing the room temperature and
shut off before the bin is full of ice. If the room temperature
remains low the ice machine may not restart.
Is there a drain pump in the ice machine? If a large
amount of water was added to the ice machine then you
should wait a few minutes for the drain pump to dispose of
it. If there is still water in the ice bin check the drain pump
vent line and drain line for obstructions or kinking.
The ice machine is noisy
Many sounds of an ice machine are different than your
household refrigerator. This subject is discussed on page
17, but check the following:
Do you hear water being circulated in the ice ma-
chine? This is a normal sound as water is added once
every ice making cycle.
Is there a "whoosing" sound? Make sure water is getting
to the ice machine. Also check to make sure the drain plug
is fully seated in the water reservoir.
Is there an ice slab caught between the evaporator plate
and the grid cutter? First check to see if the ice machine is
level. If the ice machine is level run a cleaning cycle.
Ice Production
Little or no ice production from the ice machine
Is the selector switch set to the "ON" position? Check
the switch to be sure it is in the "ON" position.
Is water getting to the ice machine? Make sure nothing is
disrupting the water supply such as a closed water valve
or a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
Has the ice machine just been started? A typical ice
production cycle can take up to 1

cycles can take longer. Check the ice machine after 24
hours for ice accumulation in the bin.
Is the reservoir drain plug in place? Check that the
reservoir drain plug is properly seated.
Is the water distributor tube restricted? Run a cleaning
cycle to clean the ice machine. Also check any filters to
make sure they are not restricted.
Is the condenser fan air flow restricted? Make sure the
grille in the front of the ice machine is open for proper air
circulation.
Is the room and/or water temperature to warm? Move the
ice machine to an area where the ambient temperature is
below 90°F (32°C). The ice machine should not be placed
next to a heat source such as an oven. Check the cold
water connection.
Is there scale build up in the ice machine? If there is
scale build up on the evaporator, the ice machine needs to
be cleaned. See "Cleaning the Ice machine".

Ice Quality

Odor, grey color, or off taste in the ice
Is there mineral scale build up on the evaporator
plate? The ice machine needs cleaning. See "Cleaning
the Ice Machine".
Is there a high mineral content in the water? The water
may need to be filtered.
Are food items being stored in the ice bin? Remove food
from the ice bin.
Clumps of ice
Are there clumps of ice in the bin? If the ice isn't used
on a regular basis it will melt and form into clumps. Break
up the ice clumps with the ice scoop.
Ice cubes are too big, too small, or hollow
Is there low ice consumption? Ice is slowly melting in
the ice bin which will affect the size of the cubes. This is
normal operation. When the ice bin needs to be replen-
ished, cubes will return to the regular size.
Is the ice slab releasing? Clean the evaporator. See
"Cleaning the Ice Machine".
