Possible Causes

Partially clogged inlet screen, restricted water filter, scaled water distribution nozzles, weak water inlet valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water and unplug the unit before servicing the water system.

  • Clean inlet screen and filter: Remove the water line at the back and clean the mesh screen in the inlet valve. Replace any inline filter.
  • Descale distribution system: Remove and soak the water distribution tube or spray bar in warm vinegar to dissolve scale. Clear each nozzle.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure household water pressure is adequate (typically 30–120 psi). Low pressure will cause small cubes.
  • Replace inlet valve: If flow remains weak despite good pressure and clean lines, replace the water inlet valve.
