SPT IM-100 Portable Ice Maker new-compressor does not turn on after filling water to bottom of ice tray, pushing on & it makes a slight noise then fill water light comes on & no compressor &am

The ice sensor may not be working. You can replace it if you are
comfortable working on this type of equipment. It plugs into the circuit board. The sensor can be found on the web but you can't get it from the distributor of the unit.

check wiring for loose connection to compressor relay

Take it back to the place where you bought it. It is under warranty.

if only a few months old - WARRANTY - call the company or the store which you bought if from.

Here is a site you can run a copy of the manual off of. WWW.Fridgeplus.com

Compressor over load switch is the clicking you here. check the compressor to see if it has a start capacitor if so check to see if it is good. if it dose not have one then check compressor relays make sure there in good working order.

I have the SPT IM-100 Portable Ice Maker. After about 2 months, it stopped, telling me that it needed water, when of course it was full of water. I did alot of digging on the Internet to find a solution. There was none. It finally occurred to me that the water sensor might be calcified with our hard water here in Reno. BINGO!!!! I ran several cycles with lemon juice and vinegar (you pick your favorite non-toxic acid), and the damned thing started up again as if brand new.

The outside male thread drain should have a cap to hold the water; this is the drain for draining the unit. Filling the unit is as you described, simply lift the lid and add water into the tub. It should not be leaking water from under the unit ... that could be a problem. Good luck!
