Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil, failed condenser fan, door not sealing, low refrigerant charge

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning or servicing.

  • Clean condenser coil: Remove the rear lower panel and use a coil brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint from the condenser.
  • Check condenser fan: Verify the fan spins freely by hand and runs when the compressor runs. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
  • Inspect door gasket: Check the bin door gasket for tears, gaps, or warping. Warm air leaks can raise bin temperature. Replace the gasket if damaged.
  • Check installation: Ensure the unit has proper ventilation and is not installed near heat sources.
  • Sealed system issues: If cleaning and fan repair do not resolve the high temperature, a sealed system problem (low charge, restriction) may exist and requires a certified technician.
