Balay Excessive Water Fill / Overfreezing

Ice cubes are too large, thick, or fused together on the evaporator grid.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Stuck water inlet valve, Incorrect ice thickness calibration, Faulty water level sensor, Control board not terminating freeze cycle

Safety first: Unplug the unit and close the water supply.

Inspect cubes: Remove large slabs of ice from the bin and evaporator using a plastic tool.
Check valve operation: With power briefly applied, observe the fill cycle. If water continues to flow after the fill period, replace the inlet valve.
Adjust thickness: Use the Balay control to reduce ice thickness or harvest time if adjustable.
Sensor check: Inspect and clean the water level sensor or probe; replace if it misreads the level.
