Possible Causes

Ice thickness sensor misadjusted, Weak harvest motor, Hot gas valve not opening, Ice binding to evaporator due to scale

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the evaporator or harvest mechanism.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Descale evaporator: Use an IceKing-approved descaler to remove mineral buildup from the evaporator plate.
  • 2. Adjust thickness sensor: Ensure the thickness probe is set correctly so the control initiates harvest at the proper ice thickness.
  • 3. Inspect harvest motor: Check the harvest motor assembly for free movement and replace if weak or stalled.
  • 4. Observe harvest: During harvest, watch whether ice loosens from the plate. If not, the hot gas function may be impaired and requires a technician.

When to call a technician: If descaling and adjustments do not restore harvest, sealed-system or valve issues should be handled professionally.
