Check All Connections
It might be best to routinely check all the connections your machine has. These include the wiring's, water cables, and tubes that can be found on the machine. Make sure they are all attached properly and replace anything that needs to be replaced.

Monitor Water Levels
There are some instances that the machine does not produce any ice. This can be caused by the water level being too low on the machine or the water is not being delivered properly to the reservoir. Make sure that the water level is the right level and that there's nothing blocking the water supply.

Check the Filters
Some people would complain about their ice having a bad odor or taste. There could be two reasons for that and one of them is regarding the water filter and the other is that the ice has been sitting in the collection bin for too long. Make sure that the water filter is clean and functioning properly. Some manufacturers recommend changing of the water filter every 6 months while others need to be changed in 3 months or so.

Proper Cleaning
It would also be best to clean it every once in a while in order to prevent dirt from accumulating which may cause damage to your machine. Make sure to check your instruction manual first before cleaning the machine since some ice makers have a strict cleaning procedure that needs to be followed or else you can end up damaging your machine.

Some manufacturers also offer cleaning services at their after sales services. This can be very handy if you don't want to clean your ice maker yourself and cause any damage. It pays to have a routine maintenance of your ice maker if you want it to last longer and provide the quality ice you need.
