How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working inside the bin or ice-making area.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Observe water flow: During a cycle, watch how water flows over the evaporator. It should not spill directly into the bin.
  • 2. Align distribution tube: Adjust the water distribution tube or spray bar so water evenly covers the evaporator and does not drip off the sides.
  • 3. Inspect trough: Check the water trough or channel for cracks or warping. Replace if damaged.
  • 4. Adjust ice thickness: If ice slabs are too thick and break into large chunks, adjust the thickness sensor to reduce thickness.

When to call a technician: If parts are warped from heat or age, or if you cannot access the distribution system, a technician should service the unit.
