Possible Causes

Low refrigerant charge, Blocked capillary tube, Inefficient compressor, Condenser coil heavily clogged

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before cleaning or inspecting internal components.

  • Clean condenser: Pull the Balay ice maker away from the wall. Use a soft brush and vacuum to thoroughly clean dust and lint from the condenser coil and fan area.
  • Check condenser fan: Confirm the fan runs smoothly when the unit is powered. Replace the fan motor if it does not start or is noisy.
  • Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit as specified in the Balay installation manual to allow proper airflow.
  • Refrigerant issues: If the condenser is clean and the fan operates but cooling remains poor, the sealed system may be undercharged or restricted. This requires a certified technician to check pressures, locate leaks, and recharge or repair the system.
