Avanti Reduced Ice Production / Marginal Cooling

Avanti ice maker makes ice but production is very slow; bin never fills completely.

Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil, weak condenser fan, high ambient temperature, partially restricted capillary tube, evaporator partially frosted

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before cleaning or servicing.

Steps:

  • 1. Clean condenser coil: Dust and lint on the coil are the most common cause of slow ice. Clean thoroughly with a brush and vacuum.
  • 2. Improve ventilation: Ensure the unit has the clearances specified by Avanti and is not installed in a cabinet without airflow.
  • 3. Check fan speed: Confirm the condenser fan spins freely and at full speed. Replace if noisy, slow, or intermittent.
  • 4. Inspect door gasket: A leaking door gasket lets warm air in, slowing ice production. Replace if torn or not sealing.
  • 5. Monitor cycles: If cleaning and airflow improvements do not help, and cycles are abnormally long, a refrigeration restriction or low charge may exist and needs professional diagnosis.
