<\/span><\/h2>\nBefore we talk about the real reason for a knocking sound, it does not always have to be something horrible. Often, the knocking sound is not something that would affect the performance of the Ice Maker. The chances are that you might be able to fix it without any help as well. As generic as it may sound, try turning your Ice Maker off and on to see if that works. If it doesn\u2019t then let\u2019s move on to troubleshooting the real reason behind it.<\/p>\n
1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Placement and Vibration<\/h3>\n
The placement of your Ice Maker can be a contributing factor to its knocking noise. There is a reason that the instruction manual says to place it on an even surface. While working, the Ice Maker vibrates and if it is not stable, then that can lead a knocking sound.<\/p>\n
If this is the case, then you can consider it the best-case scenario. All you need to do is readjust the placement of your Ice Maker, and that should get the job done.<\/p>\n
2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Compressor Operations<\/h3>\n
If your Ice Maker has a compressor, then that may be the leading cause for the knocking sound. Normally, when a compressor starts or even stops, it makes a knocking sound. So in some cases, it is nothing to be worried about.<\/p>\n
As long as the knocking sound is not persistent, you do not have to concern yourself with it. If you hear the sound more frequently, or even non-stop then it might be due to a problem in the compressor. If it happens, then consider calling a professional technician to further troubleshoot the problem.<\/p>\n
3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Heating<\/h3>\n
As cool as your Ice Maker may be, it tends to heat up as well. Heating may be contributed due to a number of reasons, and finding the exact reason for it can be a bit tricky. However, at times, turning the Ice Maker off for a while and giving it rest can resolve the problem.<\/p>\n
If your Ice Maker continues to make the knocking sound, and you find that its temperature is also rising, then do not use it further until a professional troubleshoot it. Even if the problem is not that big, continued usage can potentially damage it even more.<\/p>\n
4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Water Levels<\/h3>\n
If your Ice Maker runs out of the fluid to make Ice, then it will make a knocking sound. This is something that homeowners often seem to forget. However, do not worry because refilling the water levels is going to do the trick and enable you to get rid of the knocking sound.<\/p>\n
To make sure that your Ice Maker is able to optimally produce Ice, you frequently check the water levels.<\/p>\n
5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Water Pump Blockage<\/h3>\n
Blockage in the water pump is also a major reason to create a knocking sound. The water pump is an important component to make the ice cubes. If the pump has any blockage, then it can potentially lead to a knocking sound.<\/p>\n
You can check the instruction manual of your Ice Maker to locate the water pump. Remove its wires and see if there is debris or water inside that may be clogging it up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
