Unit runs continuously but produces ice very slowly compared to specifications.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning the condenser or fan.

Steps to improve performance:

• 1. Clean condenser and vents: Vacuum and brush dust from the condenser coil and all air inlets/outlets.
• 2. Improve environment: Move the unit to a cooler room and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
• 3. Check fan operation: Ensure the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it is not operating.
• 4. Descale evaporator: Remove mineral buildup that can insulate the evaporator and reduce heat transfer.

When to call a technician: If performance remains poor after cleaning and environmental adjustments, a refrigeration issue may be present and requires professional service.
