  John PittmanAug 16, 2025
  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.

  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.
