Possible Causes

Insufficient water fill due to partially blocked inlet valve, Mineral buildup on water level sensor, Low household water pressure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off water and unplug the unit.

Steps:

  • Clean inlet filter: Remove and rinse the mesh filter at the water inlet valve.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure the supply line delivers strong flow. Avoid self-piercing saddle valves; use a proper tee connection.
  • Descale tray and sensors: Remove the ice tray and clean with warm water and food-safe descaler to remove limescale from surfaces and level probes.

After reassembly, restore water and power and monitor cube size over several cycles.
