Water level set too high, Harvest cycle too long, Faulty bin thermostat causing low bin temperature, Ice bin not being emptied regularly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting sensors.
Steps:
- Empty and break up ice: Remove the bin and discard or break apart large clumps.
- Check water level: Inspect the water level sensor and adjust if possible according to the service manual so that the reservoir does not overfill.
- Inspect bin thermostat: Ensure the bin thermostat/thermistor is properly mounted and not causing the bin to run excessively cold.
- Usage habit: Empty the bin more frequently if ice is not used regularly to prevent compaction.
