# True clear ice maker showing hi PSI

On True's 15-inch clear ice models, hi alternating with PSI means refrigeration pressure is too high.

## What hi PSI actually means.

On True's 15-inch clear ice models, hi alternating with PSI means refrigeration pressure is too high. True's first step is cleaning the condenser coil, then pressing the power button twice to reset; a coil clogged with dust or blocked airflow keeps heat in the system.

What to do when hi PSI shows on the ice maker

### Kind of code Fans and airflow

The fan that moves cold air to the ice maker stopped, slowed or froze in place. A door ice maker depends on that air, carried to the door through a duct, so when the fan quits the ice compartment warms and cubes melt and refreeze into clumps. Ice blocking the blades or the duct is ruled out before a motor is ordered.

### Usually leads to Diagnostic visit

A visit that traces the water from the supply valve to the bin and back out through the drain, and names the one part that stopped the ice before anything is ordered.

### Shows up as No Ice Coming From the Ice Maker

The mold sits empty or holds one frozen batch that never drops, the bin stays bare for days, and the dispenser gives water as usual: an ice maker not making ice while the rest of the appliance carries on normally.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from True Residential's own guidance for hi PSI on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Clean the condenser coil behind the kickplate as the guide describes, or run the reverse condenser cleaning.

02

Press the power button twice to reset the machine.

03

If hi PSI returns, book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [diagnostic visit](https://icemakerrepair.center/services/diagnostic-visit/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

hi PSI is not about water pressure. It concerns the refrigerant pressure inside the cooling system.

## Questions about hi PSI.

### Can I clear hi PSI myself?

Clean the condenser coil behind the kickplate as the guide describes, or run the reverse condenser cleaning. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Does hi PSI mean my True water pressure is too high?

No. The code is about refrigeration pressure. Water pressure problems show up as fill codes such as LnG FiL.

### How do I clear hi PSI on my True ice maker?

Clean the condenser coil, then press the power button twice. If the code comes back, contact a service company.

### Why would an outdoor True ice maker show hi PSI in summer?

Heat and dust make the condenser work harder. A coil clogged with pollen or lint, or a grille blocked by furniture, raises pressure on hot days.
