Possible Causes

Partially blocked water inlet, Misadjusted ice thickness sensor, Low water level in reservoir, Scale buildup on evaporator affecting heat transfer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and water before servicing.

  • Check water pressure: Ensure adequate water pressure at the inlet. Low pressure can cause undersized cubes.
  • Clean inlet and reservoir: Remove sediment from the inlet screen and clean the water reservoir thoroughly.
  • Adjust thickness sensor: If your Candy model allows, slightly increase the ice thickness setting or adjust the probe closer to the evaporator.
  • Descale evaporator: Run a descaling cycle to restore proper heat transfer and cube formation.
