My manitowoc ice machine keeps tripping the breaker when it goes into ice making mode,what could be the problem

More than likely you have to many amps being drawn by that circuit and the Ice maker motor is what exceeds the amp set by the breaker Check what else is plugged into the same circuit as the fridgerator. Try to spread out some of the load to other circuits. If all else fails you might want to see if the breaker itself is getting worn out and tripping prematurely Keep in mind the motor for the Ice maker is probably pretty small. which means it shouldn't be drawing very much power.

this is just an ice machine and is only thing on circuit. it has been working,just started doing this this is just an ice machine and is only thing on circuit. it has been working,just started doing this

Mfg says max for this unit would be 15 amp breaker. Do you know what you have now? Mfg says max for this unit would be 15 amp breaker. Do you know what you have now?

If you think your breaker is ok. Then based upon the design of this unit the most likely thing will be the compressor motor could be stuck. If you think your breaker is ok. Then based upon the design of this unit the most likely thing will be the compressor motor could be stuck.

When you said it just started doing this.... Did you mean. It worked fine then started popping the breaker and has done that ever since? No intermittent service, works sometimes and trips sometimes?
