Possible Causes
Low refrigerant charge, Partial restriction in capillary tube, Weak compressor, Faulty suction line thermistor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Sealed system work (refrigerant) must be performed by a licensed technician. Do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself.
- Check condenser cleanliness: Ensure the condenser coil and fan are clean and unobstructed to maximize cooling efficiency.
- Verify ambient conditions: Confirm the room temperature is within Asko's specified operating range. Very high ambient temperatures can reduce ice quality.
- Inspect suction thermistor: Locate the suction line temperature sensor on the refrigerant line near the compressor or evaporator. Ensure it is firmly attached and wiring is intact.
- Monitor ice formation: After cleaning and checks, observe a full cycle. If ice remains consistently thin and E18 persists, a sealed system issue is likely and requires professional service.
