Possible Causes

Water freezing too quickly due to low water flow, partially blocked spray nozzles or distribution tube, low water pressure, scale buildup on evaporator

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit and shut off water before disassembling water distribution parts.

Steps to correct hollow ice:

  • Clean spray nozzles: Remove the water distribution tube or spray bar and clean all holes with a soft brush and vinegar solution.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure household water pressure is within the recommended range and that the supply line is not restricted.
  • Descale evaporator: Clean the evaporator plate to improve heat transfer and more even freezing.
  • Verify fill time: Observe a cycle to ensure the reservoir fills adequately before freezing begins.
