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.
