Symptom #3 Ice Will Not Harvest
ICE MACHINE WILL NOT HARVEST DIAGNOSTICS

mechanical or refrigeration. The first step in solving an

• If the cubes are well defined and show no signs of

refrigeration system.
• The water curtain must swing freely open and
closed and the bin switch must function properly.
