Frequently Asked Questions - IM-123S SPT

How do I start making ice?

Press the Power button on the control panel, then select the desired ice cube size using the Select button. The machine will begin the ice-making cycle automatically.

Why is the 'Add Water' indicator on even though there is water in the tank?

This may indicate a sensor malfunction. Contact Sunpentown customer service at 800-330-0388 for assistance.

How often should I change the water in the ice maker?

It is recommended to change the water every 24 hours to maintain hygiene. If not using the unit for several days, drain and dry the tank.

Can I use an extension cord with this ice maker?

Using an extension cord is not recommended as it may overheat and become a fire risk. If necessary, use a No.14AWG cord rated at least 1875 watts.

What should I do if the 'Ice Full' indicator does not light up when the basket is full?

Direct sunlight or reflections may interfere with the infrared sensor. Move the unit away from sunlight or close curtains/blinds.

How do I clean the ice maker?

Remove the ice basket, clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water solution using a soft cloth, drain via the bottom cap, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

Why is the compressor making a buzzing noise?

A buzzing noise often indicates low voltage. Turn off the ice maker and wait for voltage to return to normal before restarting.

A cycle takes approximately 5 to 13 minutes, depending on the selected ice cube size and ambient temperature (recommended 50-100°F).
