Possible Causes
Dirty condenser coil, high ambient temperature, weak condenser fan, partially restricted refrigerant system
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.
Steps to improve production:
- Clean condenser: Remove the rear panel and vacuum or brush dust from the condenser coil.
- Check fan operation: Ensure the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on and that it spins freely.
- Improve ventilation: Provide adequate clearance around the unit and avoid placing it near ovens or direct sunlight.
- Monitor cycles: After cleaning, run several cycles and compare ice output. If still low, a sealed-system issue may require a technician.
