Why water keeps backing up into the ice bin of my DCS RF151 Ice Maker (gravity drain)?
If water keeps backing up into the ice bin of your DCS Ice Maker (gravity drain), it's likely due to an inadequate drain system. Ensure there are no kinks or restrictions in the drain lines. Also, check for any foreign material in the ice bin drain that may be restricting or blocking it.
How to adjust the ice level if it is too high in my DCS RF151 Ice Maker?
If the ice level is too high in your DCS Ice Maker, ensure the ice maker is level from side-to-side and front-to-back. If the room temperature is too warm, move the unit to a cooler area (below 90 degrees F). Also, check that the ice deflector is in place and secured below the cutter-grid. You can adjust the bin level sensing tube by pressing down on it five inches from the front to achieve the desired bin level.
Why water keeps backing up into the ice bin of my DCS RF151 (drain pump)?
If water keeps backing up into the ice bin of your DCS Ice Maker (drain pump), check the drain pump tubing for kinks or restrictions in the inlet, discharge, and vent lines. Also, inspect the inlet screen to the drain pump for any blockages. Ensure that both the drain pump and the Ice Maker are level.
How to increase the ice level if it is too low in my DCS Ice Maker?
If the ice level is too low in your DCS Ice Maker, ensure the ice maker is level from side-to-side and front-to-back. If the room temperature is too cold, move the unit to an area where the temperature is above 55 degrees F. Also, check that the selector switch is in the “ON” position.
Why does the drain pump cycle on and off erratically in my DCS RF151 Ice Maker?
If the drain pump in your DCS Ice Maker cycles on and off erratically, check the vent line to the drain pump for any restrictions or kinks. Inspect the discharge line and its connection to the drain for restrictions or kinks. Ensure the drain pump is level by checking the top of the pump case and adjusting the tubing or using shims.
