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.
