Sub-Zero Won't Reset After Power Outage
Won't Reset After Power Outage is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Hard water plus a hot garage
7.2 grains per gallon scales the fill side while ambient heat loads the sealed side; undercounter units in a garage see both at once.
A blocked or frozen water supply line
Shows up as slow or stopped production, and is a plumbing-side issue rather than the ice-making mechanism itself.
A worn ice maker motor or mold assembly
The mechanical components that form and eject cubes wear out gradually.
