You can bypass the tsta by simply jumping the two contact together. If the unit turns on cools makes ice properly, the tstat is bad.

Check the ice-full probe if bad replace this is what tells machine that the ice bin is full. the bin is not refrigerated just a storage bin.

I don't know a lot about this machine but it could be that the water inlet value is not working correctly

I searched and searched for a fix and here was mine. The sensor wire was shorting out on the drip pan (which was not wet to the touch) above the compressor causing the alarm. I removed the clip and re-rigged it so the bare wire is not touching the sidewall but is positioned so that it could still sensor and alarm in an actual overfill.

did you ever find a solution? mine does the same thing and drip tray is empty.

it can not be fixed but good news is it can be replaced

you may want to add shader valves using saddle type that just compresses on and check charge if low then find and repair leak and recharge but be careful these type ice machines are very touchy on charge so go slow

sounds like you need to change compacitor on compressor or your compressor needs replaced i would change compacitor first and if not helping then change compressor even if you buy compacitor and it doesnt help you still need to have a new one for the new compressor

Your Sears Service and Repair center should be able to get the parts, but your best option is to order the parts online.

Dig into the res and find the pump is what I would do. I would try and oil the motor and then I would run some ice machine cleaner through it. You may need to get the motor out and take it to a supplier to be identified. You might come out better doing this because their are cheaper generic pumps around. Here in the usa we use Grainger and Johnstone for pumps and such. Most of the time though the pump motor simply needs oiling and a good cleaning. These pump s start around $200 bucks and go up.
