Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before servicing.

Clean condenser and vents: Remove dust from the condenser coil and ensure all air vents are unobstructed.
Check fan operation: Confirm the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
Relocate or ventilate: If the unit is in a tight cabinet, provide additional ventilation or move it to a more open area.
Monitor ambient temperature: Keep the room within the recommended range for proper operation.

Ice maker cabinet or surrounding area feels excessively hot to the touch during operation.
