Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil, High ambient room temperature, Poor ventilation around cabinet, Partially scaled evaporator surface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning.

Steps:

  • 1. Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser fins thoroughly to restore heat transfer.
  • 2. Improve ventilation: Ensure the unit has the clearances specified in the Blomberg installation guide and is not enclosed tightly in cabinetry.
  • 3. Check room temperature: Move the unit or improve cooling if the room is consistently above the recommended range.
  • 4. Descale evaporator: Run a cleaning cycle with an approved ice machine descaler to remove mineral buildup that insulates the evaporator.
