How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before cleaning or inspection.

Steps:

  • Descale evaporator: Clean the evaporator plate with descaling solution to restore efficient heat transfer.
  • Improve environment: Move the unit to a cooler, well-ventilated area.
  • Monitor production: Measure ice output over 24 hours and compare to the rated capacity under similar ambient conditions.
  • Professional check: If output remains far below spec despite cleaning and good conditions, a sealed system issue may exist and requires a technician.
