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.
