  If your ITV Ice Maker is working but not producing ice, consider these potential issues: * **Refrigerant Leak:** The system might be leaking refrigerant. Repair the leak and recharge the refrigerant. * **Faulty Compressor:** The compressor could be malfunctioning. Replace the compressor. * **Valve/Capillary Issues:** The expansion valve might be closed or damaged, or the capillary could be obstructed. Open or replace the valve (or capillary) and dehydrating filter. * **Moisture in Refrigeration System:** Water or humidity might have entered the system. Charge compressor oil, replace the capillary and dehydrator (use an anti-acid one), create a vacuum in the installation, slightly warm up all components and charge refrigerant.

  Daniel WebbAug 27, 2025
  If your ITV Ice Maker is working inconsistently, here are a couple of things to check: * **Low Water Pressure:** If the water pressure is lower than 0.7 BAR, especially when other taps are in use, for smaller units try regulating the water trough float. Larger machines might require installation of a mains pressure raising unit. * **Appropriate Water Pressure:** If the water pressure is within the range of 0.7 to 6.5 BAR, regulate the water level in the trough.

Adjust the water level, reduce the water pressure, and clean or replace the valve. * **Defective O-rings:** The o-rings in the lower bearing could be defective. Seal with silicone or replace them.
