Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or removing panels.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coil and ensure the condenser fan is running.
- 2. Improve ventilation: Move the unit away from walls or heat sources and ensure vents are not blocked.
- 3. Check room temperature: Keep the ice maker in a room within the recommended temperature range; excessive heat will slow production.
- 4. Monitor cycle times: If cycles are very long and ice is thin, a sealed-system issue may exist.
When to call a technician: If cleaning and ventilation do not restore normal production, a refrigeration technician should check pressures and compressor performance.
