If your Viking Range Ice Maker isn't operating, here's what to check: * Make sure the unit is plugged in. * Check the breaker or fuse and reset or replace if necessary, ensuring there are no electrical shorts. * Verify the ice machine selector switch is in the “ON” position.
Why Viking Range Ice Maker unit operates but does not produce any ice?
If your Viking Range Ice Maker is running but not making ice, consider these potential causes: * If the unit was just started, allow 24 hours for ice accumulation, as initial ice may melt. * Ensure the selector switch is in the “ON” position. * Check for water in the reservoir, making sure the drain plug is installed, the water line is unrestricted, and filters are clear. * The condenser fan airflow may be restricted, ensure the grill is free and clear for proper air circulation. Clean the condenser coil with a vacuum and brush attachment. * The room or water temperature might be too warm. Move the unit to a cooler area (below 90oF) and check the cold water connection. * The grid cutter might be unplugged. Plug in the grid cutter so that ice slabs can be cut into cubes.
What to do if water keeps backing up into Viking Range VUIM150DLSS bin (gravity drain)?
If water is backing up into the ice bin of your Viking Range Ice Maker (gravity drain system), the problem is likely an inadequate drain system. Ensure there are no kinks or restrictions in the drain lines. Also check for any foreign material restricting or blocking the ice bin drain located at the right rear corner of the ice bin. If needed, consult a qualified plumber.
What to do if Viking Range VUIM150DLSS grid cutter is not cutting ice slab?
If the grid cutter on your Viking Range Ice Maker isn't cutting the ice slab: * Ensure the selector switch is in the “ON” position. * Check that the grid cutter is plugged into the receptacle, which may require removing the escutcheon panel. * Keep in mind that it can take up to 35 minutes to cut through a harvested ice slab, which is normal.
Why Viking Range VUIM150DLSS Ice Maker cubes are too small?
If the ice cubes from your Viking Range Ice Maker are too small (less than 1/2” thick), it could be due to: * Low ice consumption, causing the ice to melt slowly in the bin. This is normal; regular size cubes will return when the bin is replenished. * Insufficient water in the reservoir. Ensure the drain plug is properly installed, the water line isn't restricted, and the filters are clear. * The room temperature being too warm. Try moving the unit to an area where the temperature is below 90oF.
Why Viking Range VUIM150DLSS cubes are sticking together?
If the ice cubes in your Viking Range Ice Maker are sticking together, it's likely due to: * Low ice consumption. Use the ice frequently to prevent it from sticking together over long periods. * The room temperature being too warm. Move the unit to an area where the temperature is below 90oF.
What to do if Viking Range Ice Maker drain pump cycles on and off erratically?
If the drain pump on your Viking Range Ice Maker is cycling on and off erratically: * Check the vent line for any restrictions or kinks and repair as needed. * Inspect the discharge line and its connection to the drain for any restrictions or kinks and repair as needed. * Ensure the drain pump is level by checking the top of the pump case and adjusting the tubing or using shims.
What to do if water keeps backing up into Viking Range VUIM150DLSS bin (drain pump)?
If water is backing up into the ice bin of your Viking Range Ice Maker when using a drain pump: * Check the inlet, discharge, and vent line tubing for any kinks or restrictions and repair them as needed. * Clean the inlet screen to the drain pump if it's restricted. * Ensure that both the drain pump and the ice machine are level, adjusting if necessary.
Why Viking Range Ice Maker level is too low?
If the ice level in your Viking Range Ice Maker is too low: * Ensure the ice machine is level from side to side and front to rear. * Make sure the room temperature is above 55oF. * Verify that the selector switch is in the “ON” position.
Why Viking Range VUIM150DLSS produces hollow ice slab?
If your Viking Range Ice Maker is producing hollow ice slabs, it could be due to: * The room temperature being too warm. Move the unit to an area where the temperature is below 90oF. * Low water level in the reservoir. Ensure the reservoir drain plug is properly installed, the water line isn't restricted, and all filters are clear.
