Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil, High ambient room temperature, Scale buildup on evaporator, Weak compressor performance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning.

  • Clean condenser: Remove dust and lint from the condenser coil to improve heat rejection.
  • Check room conditions: Measure ambient temperature. If it exceeds Fagor's recommended range, improve ventilation or relocate the unit.
  • Descale evaporator: Run a cleaning cycle with ice machine descaler to remove mineral deposits that insulate the evaporator.
  • Monitor cycle times: After cleaning, time a full freeze and harvest cycle. If cycles remain abnormally long, a technician should evaluate the compressor and refrigerant charge.
