Whirlpool EC510 - Manual (Page 14)

If You Need Service or Assistance
We suggest you follow these
steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any
kind.
Unit does not run:
• Cycle Control Knob must be in the “ON" position.
• Check to see that power cord is plugged in.
• Have you checked your home's main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
• Room temperature must be above 55°F (13°C).
Otherwise, bin thermostat may sense cold room
temperature and shut off even though bin is not
full of ice. Also, unit may not restart once it does
shut off.
Unit runs but produces no ice:
• Cycle Control Knob must be in the 'ON" position.
• Check water supply to make sure it is open.
• If ice machine is operated at an elevation of
2,000 feet or more above sea level, both the bin
thermostat and ice thickness thermostat need to
be recalibrated. See Installation Instructions.
Unit runs but produces very iittie ice:
• Room temperature may be extremely high, more
than 90°F (32°C). In this case, it is normal for ice
production to be low.
• Dirt or lint may be blocking the air flow through
the finned condenser. Condenser needs to be
cleaned.
• Check to see if the unit has a scale build-up in
water and freezing system. Clean, if necessary.
Grid is not cutting ice sheets:
• Check the grid harness plug to make sure the
connection is secure.
Taste in ice cubes:
• There may be an unusually high mineral content
in water supply. Water may need to be filtered or
treated.
• Do not store any foods in the ice bin.
• Packaging material not all removed.
A more detailed “Trouble Diagnosis Chart” and
other technical information is shipped with each
unit and is located in the unit compartment section.
