Ice maker makes ice very slowly, production much lower than normal

Safety: Unplug the Hoover ice maker before cleaning or servicing.

• Clean condenser: Use a brush and vacuum to remove dust from the condenser coil. This is one of the most common causes of slow ice production.
• Improve ventilation: Ensure the unit has adequate clearance and is not installed in a hot, enclosed space. Avoid placing it near ovens or direct sunlight.
• Check condenser fan speed: Confirm the fan spins at full speed and does not stall. Replace the fan motor if it is noisy, slow, or intermittent.
• Descale evaporator: Mineral buildup on the evaporator plate can insulate it. Run a manufacturer‑approved descaling/cleaning cycle and gently wipe the plate with a soft cloth.
