How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning internal parts.
Steps to improve cube shape:
- Level the unit: Ensure the ice maker is perfectly level so water spreads evenly over the evaporator.
- Clean water tray: Remove and clean the water distribution tray, clearing any clogged holes with a soft brush or toothpick.
- Descale evaporator: Wipe the evaporator with a vinegar solution to remove scale that can cause uneven freezing.
- Rinse and test: Rinse thoroughly, reassemble, and run several cycles to see if cube shape improves.
