Ice maker cabinet feels warm to the touch on the sides or top

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or removing panels.

Steps to check:

• Assess warmth: Mild warmth on the sides can be normal. Excessive heat indicates poor ventilation.
• Improve airflow: Move the unit away from walls and heat sources. Ensure vents are not blocked.
• Clean condenser and fan: Remove dust from the condenser coil and verify the fan runs properly.

If the cabinet remains very hot after cleaning and improving ventilation, have a technician check the sealed system.
