[SIZE=3]I’m hoping that someone can help - I have a 2-drawer, under-counter Sub-Zero freezer (model # 700BFI) that’s having problems making ice:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]The symptoms are that the ice maker creates ice very slowly (maybe taking 3 to 4 hours per cycle – much longer than it did when new), the tray sits for ages empty of ice, but is not advancing to the “fill” cycle. Also, I am getting a small amount of water spillage from the ice making tray on most cycles. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I removed, thawed/cleaned and re-installed the ice maker, as I thought that there might be a component that was permanently iced up - no difference, still didn’t function properly.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]The freezer is cooling perfectly and is level.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated![/SIZE]
There could be the thermo-fuse spliced into the black wire of the ice maker wire harness. Check the black wire for continuity from one end to the other one. If it’s open then you need a new wire harness.
I’ll call the number in the morning - although I suspect that they will insist that I get it done by an authorized repair center.
Do you have any idea where the control board is located on the SZ 700 (or what I should look for)? I can’t see anything electrical under the unit beyond a transformer, connectors, master on/off switch, etc.
Thanks again for indulging my ramblings - I’ve really appreciated your help.
