Possible Causes

Ice thickness probe set too far from evaporator, Stuck water level float causing overfill, Faulty ice thickness sensor, Control board not terminating freeze cycle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power before making adjustments.

  • Adjust thickness probe closer: Move the ice thickness probe slightly closer to the evaporator plate so it contacts the ice sooner, shortening the freeze cycle.
  • Verify water level: Ensure the water level float moves freely and shuts off fill at the correct level. Clean scale and replace the float switch if necessary.
  • Observe cycle timing: If cycles run excessively long despite adjustments, the control board may be misreading the sensor and could require replacement.
