Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil reducing efficiency, High ambient room temperature, Low refrigerant charge or weak compressor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before cleaning.

Steps:

  • Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the rear or bottom condenser coil thoroughly.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the unit has the recommended clearance from walls and cabinets. Avoid placing it near ovens or direct sunlight.
  • Check ambient temperature: Ice makers work best in 10–32°C environments. Very hot rooms will slow production.

If production remains poor after cleaning and ventilation improvements, a sealed system issue may exist and requires professional service.
