Ice maker produces ice, but cubes are very small, hollow, or melt quickly.

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning coils or internal parts.

Steps:

• Relocate unit: Move the Gastroback ice maker away from ovens, dishwashers, or direct sunlight. Ideal ambient temperature is typically 15–25 °C.
• Clean condenser: Vacuum or brush dust from the rear/underside condenser coil to improve heat rejection.
• Descale evaporator: With the unit unplugged, gently clean the evaporator fingers/plate using a soft cloth and a mild descaling solution (e.g., diluted vinegar). Rinse and dry.
• Adjust ice size: If your model allows, select a larger cube size to increase freeze time.

If ice quality remains poor despite good ventilation and cleaning, a refrigeration performance issue may exist and should be evaluated by a technician.
