  If your Maxx Ice Ice Maker isn't turning on, there are several potential reasons. First, ensure that the ice maker is properly plugged into the socket. If it is plugged in, check the fuse and replace it if it's blown. If the fuse blows again, it is recommended to call a service technician to inspect the unit for a short circuit. Also, verify that the power button is switched to the 'ON' position. Lastly, if the ice storage bin is full, remove some ice to ensure that the ice-full probe is not obstructed by ice.

  If you notice water leaking from your Maxx Ice Ice Maker, here's what to check: Some water falling to the floor when you open the door to remove ice from the storage bin is normal condensation. However, if the leak is persistent, examine the water supply connection and tighten the fitting. If the leak continues, check the drain pipe to ensure it is lower than the drain outlet.

  If your Maxx Ice Ice Maker suddenly stops during ice production, there are a few things to consider. First, ensure that there is no power outage by checking the electricity supply. If power is available, the room temperature may be outside of the recommended range. In this case, disconnect the unit and wait until the temperature is within the specified range before reconnecting. Lastly, if the ice storage bin is full, remove some ice to ensure that the ice-full probe is not obstructed by ice.

Why is my Maxx Ice Ice Maker making ice, but the bin isn't filling?
- M
  Michael WallerAug 28, 2025
  If your Maxx Ice Ice Maker is producing ice, but the bin isn't filling up, consider these factors: The condenser might be dirty, so try cleaning it. Also, the airflow to the ice maker may be obstructed, so check the installation. High ambient and water temperatures, or proximity to a heat source, can also affect ice production, so check the installation.

Why are my Maxx Ice MIM50 cubes partially formed?
- C
  Carlos DukeAug 31, 2025
  If the ice cubes from your Maxx Ice Ice Maker are partially formed or have a white bottom, the water trough may not have enough water. Check if the water supply pressure is below 15 psig. Also, the water supply or filter may be restricted and check for a water leak at the water trough.

  If water is leaking from the ice storage bin of your Maxx Ice Ice Maker, it could be due to a blocked drainhole. Remove the ice storage bin and clean the drainhole. Also, check the drain hose to ensure it is not kinked or improperly placed higher than the floor of the ice storage bin, which could prevent proper drainage.
