How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting sensors.

  • Clean thickness probe: Remove scale and deposits from the ice thickness sensor using a descaling solution and soft cloth.

  • Test cycles: Run several cycles and observe cube size. Fine-tune the adjustment as needed.
  • Replace sensor or PCB: If adjustments have no effect, the sensor or control board may be faulty and require replacement.
