Possible Causes

Stuck water inlet valve, Misadjusted water level control, Faulty evaporator thermostat, Slow harvest cycle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and close the water supply valve.

  • Inspect cubes: Remove any large fused ice from the bin and discard.
  • Check water level: Observe the water level in the reservoir or on the evaporator during fill. If it is too high, adjust the water level control per the service manual.
  • Test inlet valve: If water continues to trickle into the unit when it should be off, the valve is leaking internally and must be replaced.
  • Verify harvest timing: Ensure the harvest cycle occurs promptly after freezing. If the evaporator stays frozen too long, check the evaporator thermostat or thermistor.
  • Re-test cube size: After adjustments or part replacement, run multiple cycles and confirm cubes are properly sized and separate easily.
