How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before manual defrosting.

  • Inspect gasket and hinges: Ensure the door closes tightly and is not sagging. Adjust hinges if necessary.
  • Manual defrost: Turn off the appliance and allow all frost around the ice maker to melt. Use towels to absorb water.
  • Clear vents: Make sure air vents near the ice maker are not blocked by food items.
  • Resume operation: Restore power and monitor frost buildup. Rapid recurrence suggests a defrost system fault that requires professional diagnosis.
