Possible Causes

Low water level in reservoir, Partially clogged water inlet valve, Scale on ice thickness sensor, Incorrect ice thickness adjustment

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing.

Correct water level and thickness:

  • Check the water reservoir during a fill cycle; it should reach the normal level indicated in the manual. If low, inspect the inlet valve and supply line for restrictions.
  • Clean the ice thickness sensor/probe with a soft cloth and ice machine cleaner to remove scale.
  • On models with an adjustable ice thickness screw or control, follow the tech sheet to slightly increase thickness (usually a small clockwise turn).
  • Run several cycles and recheck ice thickness. Do not over-adjust, as this can cause over-thick ice and harvest problems.
