If the Whynter Ice Maker won't operate, first, ensure it is properly plugged in. If it is plugged, check the fuse and replace it if blown. Also, verify that the power switch is set to 'ICE (ON)'. Finally, if the ice storage bin is full, remove some ice to free the ice full probe.
Why is my Whynter FIM-450HS Ice Maker making ice, but the bin is not filling up?
If your Whynter Ice Maker makes ice but the bin doesn't fill up, the condenser might be dirty, so clean it. Also, check the installation to ensure there is at least 4” of clearance on each side and back to avoid obstructing airflow. If the ambient and water temperatures are high or near a heat source, run the unit for a longer period.
What to do if my Whynter Ice Maker stops suddenly while making ice?
If the Whynter Ice Maker stops suddenly while making ice, first check if the electricity is off and reconnect the power supply line. If the electricity is on, the room temperature may be out of the stated range. In this case, cut off the electricity and let the ice maker stop working until the temperature returns within the stated range.
Why are the ice cubes from my Whynter FIM-450HS Ice Maker partially formed?
If the cubes from your Whynter Ice Maker are partially formed with white bottoms, ensure there's enough water in the water bin by checking if the water supply pressure is correct. Also, check the water supply for restrictions, such as a restricted filter, and inspect the water trough for leaks.
Why is water leaking out of my Whynter FIM-450HS?
If water is leaking from your Whynter Ice Maker, and you see a few water droplets on the door, this may be due to humidity. Consider moving the unit or being more careful when opening the door. If the water supply connection is leaking, tighten the fitting.
Why doesn't water feed in after my Whynter FIM-450HS starts?
If water isn't feeding into your Whynter Ice Maker after it starts, make sure the water supply tap is turned on. Also, check that the water supply pipe is properly connected. Finally, ensure the water pressure is appropriately adjusted.
Why is the body of my Whynter FIM-450HS electrified?
If the body of your Whynter Ice Maker is electrified, make sure the ground line is properly connected in the socket. Use the correct plug and outlet.
Why is my Whynter FIM-450HS Ice Maker making noise during operation?
If your Whynter Ice Maker is making noise during operation, level and lock the feet. Also, consult the 'Normal Sounds' section to determine if the sounds are typical.
Why does scale build up quickly inside my Whynter FIM-450HS?
If scale builds up quickly inside your Whynter Ice Maker, the calcium level in the water may be too high. Use a water softening apparatus installed in front of the water inlet valve.
