A clogged water filter could be blocking water flow to the ice maker, causing it to run slowly. Once a new filter is installed, allow it to go through several cycles before using the ice your freezer makes.

Why is my ice machine beeping?

This is when the safety alarm engages and locks the machine out on a manual reset, 3-beep audible alarm. The freeze cycle on Hoshizaki KM ice machines is controlled by water level. Once reset we can troubleshoot the three-beep error. Many times the reason for erratic operation is caused by a dirty or scaled machine.

What is the feeler arm on the ice maker?

The feeler arm is the wire arm that shuts the icemaker down then it hits the ice. There is a spring inside the icemaker head that will force the arm back down after the motor lifts it up. If this spring is broken the arm will not come back down to push the switch as if it were hitting ice, shutting the icemaker off.
