Ice maker produces ice very slowly; cycles take much longer than normal and ice output is low.

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning or removing panels.

• 1. Improve airflow: Move the ice maker to a cooler, well-ventilated location. Ensure at least 10–15 cm clearance on all sides and above.
• 2. Clean condenser: Remove the rear panel and clean the condenser coil and condenser fan with a soft brush and vacuum. Dust build-up significantly reduces performance.
• 3. Check ambient temperature: Lakeland ice makers are typically designed for indoor use at 10–32°C. If the room is hotter, ice production will drop.
• 4. Inspect door/lid seal: Ensure the lid closes properly and the cabinet gasket is intact to prevent warm air ingress.
• 5. Monitor cycle times: After cleaning, run the unit for 1–2 hours and compare ice output to the specification. If performance is still very poor, the sealed system may be partially restricted or the compressor weak, requiring professional service.
