# Dacor ice maker repair

### Two modules, and which one stopped is half the diagnosis

Ice is a module inside a cabinet on this make rather than an appliance of its own, and the freezer columns carry two. That second module is the most useful diagnostic tool in the kitchen: both stopped points upstream at the supply, the valve or the fill tube, while one stopped and one working points squarely at that module. Hollow or slow cubes are a third case and usually mean fill volume rather than a failed mechanism — which in this water usually means scale.

What this involves

Two modules on the freezer columns — which one stopped is half the diagnosis

Both stopped is a water problem; one stopped is a module problem

Hollow or slow cubes are usually fill volume, not a broken mechanism

Establish which modules are affected

One or both, and whether the cabinet itself is at temperature. Ice production falls off long before a freezer feels warm.

Follow the water in

Supply, valve, fill tube and the fill volume itself. A partially blocked tube gives exactly the hollow cubes people describe.

Check the harvest side

Mold heater, ejector, the bin's own sensing. A module that fills and never releases is a different repair from one that never fills.

### Is there a reset?

There is a test cycle on most modules and running it is part of the diagnosis rather than a cure. A module that passes its test and still makes no ice has a water problem.

### Should I keep using it while the ice is bad?

Yes. Nothing about hollow cubes harms the cabinet, and it keeps the symptom visible. What is worth avoiding is forcing the ejector by hand.
