my aglucky hzb-12b ice maker is running but not making any ice at all, just humming.

— asked by Alex

Quick answer: The compressor is running but the refrigerant isn't circulating, likely due to a shipping jolt. The unit was tilted during transport, causing oil to block the capillary tube.

Diagnosis

The compressor is running but the refrigerant isn't circulating, likely due to a shipping jolt. The unit was tilted during transport, causing oil to block the capillary tube.

How to Fix It

You need to let the unit sit perfectly level and upright for 24 hours. Do not plug it in during this time. This allows the compressor oil to drain back to its proper reservoir.

If That Didn't Work

The water pump might have failed or become air-locked. Check for water flow by manually triggering a cycle with water in the tank. If no water sprays onto the evaporator, the pump is the issue.

Heads Up

After the 24-hour rest, the first batch of ice will take much longer than the advertised 6-8 minutes. Give it a full 30 minutes before expecting results.
