Ice maker cabinet feels hot to the touch on the sides or top

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning vents or fan.

Steps:

• Clear vents: Ensure all ventilation grilles are free of dust and not blocked by cabinets or objects.
• Check fan: Verify the condenser fan motor runs whenever the compressor is on; replace if not.
• Improve airflow: Provide additional clearance around the unit or add ventilation openings in cabinetry.
