Allavino VSWR Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault

Frequently Asked Questions

Which models does this page cover?

The VSWR family as listed in the matrix above: the widest matrix of this brand: many cabinet sizes, each repeated across door handing and finish codes.

How is this different from the brand-generic advice?

A compartment that is not cold enough to make ice moves to the top of this family's ranking and the shut-off arm or bin sensor left in the off position goes down to fourth place, because the platform here is one control platform stretched over cabinets of very different size, so the same board runs a short duty cycle in the small ones and a long one in the large.

Why has it suddenly stopped making ice?

Look at the shut-off arm or the bin sensor first. A bag or a box knocks it into the off position more often than any part on the machine fails.

Why are the cubes small or hollow?

Not enough water is arriving during fill. Check that the supply valve is fully open and that the line behind the cabinet is not pinched.

How cold does the compartment need to be?

A freezer holds food safely at 0 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 18 degrees Celsius, or below, and ice production falls off well before food safety does.
