Ice maker produces ice very slowly; bin never fills to normal level.

Safety First: Unplug the unit before cleaning coils or accessing internal components.

Steps:

• Clean condenser: Remove the front grille and thoroughly vacuum and brush the condenser coils.
• Improve ventilation: Ensure cabinetry allows proper airflow per Café installation specs. Do not block toe-kick or side vents.
• Check room temperature: Verify ambient temperature is within the recommended range (typically 55–90°F). Extremely hot rooms will reduce ice output.
• Inspect evaporator: Look for uneven frost or heavy ice buildup on the evaporator plate. Uneven frost may indicate a sealed system issue requiring a technician.
• Replace evaporator thermistor: If cycles are abnormally long or short, a misreading thermistor can reduce production; replace with a Café-approved part.
