Possible Causes

High ambient temperature, poor insulation, fan not circulating air around bin, unit left open frequently

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing internal fans.

  • Improve environment: Move the unit to a cooler room and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  • Limit lid opening: Keep the lid closed as much as possible to maintain a cooler bin area.
  • Check internal airflow: Some Igloo models use internal fans to circulate cool air. Ensure these fans are running and not obstructed.
  • Use ice promptly: Countertop ice makers are not freezers; transfer ice to a freezer for long-term storage.
