How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure at least the manufacturer-recommended clearance around the sides and rear. Do not enclose the unit in a tight cabinet without ventilation.
- Clean condenser: Remove rear panel and vacuum dust from condenser fins. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn dirt.
- Check ambient temperature: Move the unit away from heat sources and ensure the room temperature is within the specified operating range.
- Monitor cycle times: If cycles are excessively long despite good airflow, a sealed system issue may exist. Contact an authorized Indesit service technician for refrigeration diagnostics.
