Monogram ice machine display · also shown as Making Ice light flashing, Icemaking light flashing What to do when Making Ice flashing shows on the ice machine ### Kind of code Mode, not a failure Nothing is broken; the control is reporting a state someone chose or a routine it runs: a clean or sanitize reminder counting the hours since the last cycle, a delay of a few minutes after power returns before the pump and compressor start, a bin-full light while the bin control is satisfied, or a standby or off mode someone chose at the keypad. No part is needed; finishing the cycle the light asks for, waiting out the delay or the key sequence from the manual ends it. ### Usually leads to No repair Wait for the light to stop flashing before unplugging, moving or winterizing the machine. ### Shows up as Ice Machine Error Code or Flashing Light: What It Is Telling You An ice machine error code may show as a number on a small display, a pattern of blinking lights on the control board, a colored light on the front, or a machine that stops with one indicator flashing. ### Make Monogram For a Monogram ice machine built into cabinetry, the technician plans access to the drain and water connections before pulling anything forward. ### Source Monogram UCC15NP clear-ice machine owner's manual (GE Appliances) Monogram UCC15NP clear-ice (up to 20 minutes) and UNC15NP nugget (about 1 to 3 minutes) machines. ## Before you book, in this order.

Wait for the light to stop flashing before unplugging, moving or winterizing the machine. ### Why won't my Monogram ice machine turn off right away? It finishes the batch in progress and drains its tank first, with the Making Ice light flashing until it is done. ### Is it bad to unplug a Monogram ice machine while the light is flashing? Monogram warns that unplugging without turning it off first leaves water in the tank, which matters before storage or cold weather. ### How long should the Monogram Making Ice light flash? A few minutes on the nugget model and up to about 20 minutes on the clear-ice model. --- **[Read on the site: Monogram Making Ice light flashing: the machine is finishing before it stops](https://icemachinerepair.center/error-codes/monogram-making-ice-flashing/)** **[Book a visit with IceMachineRepair.center](https://icemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
