Possible Causes
Lid not closing properly, Damaged cabinet gasket, Fan blowing warm air into ice compartment, Unit placed near heat source
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before adjusting internal airflow components.
- 1. Check lid closure: Ensure the lid closes fully and the hinges are not bent. Adjust or tighten hinge screws if needed.
- 2. Inspect gasket: Examine the cabinet gasket around the lid opening for tears or deformation. Replace if damaged.
- 3. Relocate unit: Move the ice maker away from ovens, hobs, or direct sunlight.
- 4. Check internal airflow: Ensure the condenser fan is not directing hot air into the ice compartment due to a missing baffle or misfitted panel. Refit any internal baffles correctly.
