Bill, you will need the pump on or be connected to city water for the ice maker to make ice. Check to be sure if there is a valve on the outside vent area that it is on. If you have a water filtered water dispenser make sure the filter is in place and that if there is a valve under the sink that it is on as well. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

ok ill chk u r always there bill

[duner bill]

heres what i found water goes in
to ice cube tank but there is a small side hole
in ice cube tank water runs out of this is this i need of a small plug why is the hole there is that an overflow safety hole water just runs into cube basket since tray does not fill all the way
what goes bill

Bill, there should be 8 oz. of water put into the mold at the end of the harvest cycle; any more than that and it will overflow. Are you using a water pressure regulator? If so and you still get too much water in you may need to check out as to why this is happening. Does the rake (finger looking platic piece) rotate around? Let me know and I will try to help you diagnose it.

[duner bill]

yes it rotates the finger thing thats how i got water to come on o rotated it top of take towards that wall in back of it
water came on then came out the small hole
it gets cold, pressure reg was on garden hose
does the rake rotate right away when you flip the on switch to on
ill be gone in mh a few days then ill chk
to hear from you again thank you again bill

I recently discovered that my Norcold ice maker does not empty the ice into the bin unless there's AC power present. Everything else works on propane power.
I can't imagine there's a problem and although it may not be exactly the same issue you are having it does seem normal.

[RV Wizard]

The icemaker will only harvest (rake rotates) when several things are present. As Abarkl has stated you will need to have 120 volts present unless you have the newest version that work off 12 volt dc. The ice level sensing arm is all the way down and the mold thermostat has reached about 17 degrees. Then it will go thru it's cycle and at the end add water.

Bill,

Does your '96 Safari have the U Line Ice Maker?

If so you probably have a BI-95 U Line.

Turn it on, make sure you have water to it, and come back in 2-3 hours and you will have ice.

If you are getting too much water, remove the front cover of the ice maker section. Under it is a cube size selector knob.

If it is not cold enough, remove the lower front pannel. There is a thermostat adjustment screw there. The water valve is also there, it may not be shutting off and allowing too much water thru, causing the over flow condition you are describing.

We need more info from you as to what you have.

yes u line model bcm 95

my brothers 98 safari with same unit

???? bill
ps went to calif delta great 4 day trip
my borthers 98 37 ' safari looked great
we both have safaries but mines only a 33'
bill thank you in agvance

[duner bill]

its got to be either to much water

how do i chk that and adjust it

of no ac
if pluged in will fax come on

[RV Wizard]

You can turn down the water a little be positioing the small tab that is spring loaded in the direction of the "-" sign on the screw you mentioned. If it does not go into a harvest mode then the ice sensing switch or the thermostat is not closing. If the unit is running and getting cold then it is getting ac power. I would recomend you have a qualified technician diagnose and repair the ice maker for you at this point.

[duner bill]

ill try it right now

if not ill pull it and take unit in

thanks for all your time and knowledge on this again, bill
