Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil, Inadequate ventilation around unit, Partially restricted water flow, Evaporator partially scaled

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning coils or internal parts.

  • Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coil to restore heat transfer efficiency.
  • Improve airflow: Ensure the unit has the recommended clearance on all sides and is not enclosed in a tight cabinet without ventilation.
  • Check water flow: Confirm strong flow at the water inlet and through the distribution system. Clean or replace filters and clear any scale from the distribution tube.
  • Descale system: Run a full descaling cycle to remove mineral buildup that can slow freezing and harvest.
  • Monitor ambient temperature: Keep the room within the specified range; very warm rooms will reduce ice output.
