Jim B for Model Number KitchenAid KUIS18NNTS2 Icemaker Icemaker will run then shutdown for a while, then startup again. and shut down again after awhile. When the unit shuts down, all power to the controls is lost including the bin light. Do you think this a faulty start relay and overload combo device, or is this a faulty compressor triggering the overload protection? The unit was working good and making lots of ice until this problem. When the unit comes back on the compressor is working and the evaporator gets cold, and tries to make ice. I noticed that the evaporator plate has a brownish stain on the face that hasn't been there upon previous cleaning. The stain is similar to an over heating color.
Answer Jim, The entire unit shutting down, including lights would not be caused by a overheating issue of the compressor overload tripping. This issue would more likely be caused by a faulty control board or a wire harness issue. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, August 18, 2015
