Allavino VSWR Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Allavino VSWR models does this cover?

All the 71 models in this family, which are listed in the table on this page. The order of checks holds across them; the physical route to the valve and the mount does not.

Why does a family page rank these differently?

Because the ranking is the useful part. The causes are common to almost every ice maker; which one is worth ruling out first depends on how the cabinet is built and how easy each check is to run on it.

Why is the ice hollow?

The mould is being filled too little or too briefly, so only the outside freezes before the harvest. That is restriction or a short fill, not a mechanism fault.

Should I replace the whole ice maker?

Not until the water supply and the freezer temperature have both been proven. A new module in a warm compartment makes exactly as little ice as the old one.

Is there a reset?

Most makers have a test or reset that forces one cycle. It is a diagnostic: it tells you whether the mechanism can run, not whether the supply or the temperature is right.
