Ice maker makes ice very slowly; long time between batches compared to normal operation.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or accessing the fan area.

• Check room conditions: Ensure the room temperature is within the manufacturer’s recommended range (typically 50–90°F / 10–32°C).
• Clean condenser and vents: Use a vacuum and brush to remove dust from all air inlets and outlets and any exposed condenser coil.
• Verify fan speed: With the rear panel removed and unit briefly powered, observe the fan. It should spin quickly and smoothly. If it is slow or intermittent, replace the fan motor.
• Allow recovery time: After heavy use, give the unit a 30-minute rest to cool down before judging performance.
• If still slow: Persistent slow production with a clean, well-ventilated unit may indicate a weak compressor or sealed system issue, requiring professional evaluation.
