Possible Causes

Low water pressure, Partially clogged inlet valve, Incorrect ice thickness probe setting, Warm bin due to poor insulation or door seal leak

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off water before adjusting internal components.

  • Check water pressure: Ensure strong flow from the supply line. If weak, correct plumbing issues upstream.
  • Clean inlet valve screen: Remove and rinse the mesh screen at the water inlet valve.
  • Adjust thickness probe: Set the ice thickness sensor to the factory position so cubes are not prematurely harvested.
  • Bin conditions: Verify the bin door or lid closes fully and that warm air is not leaking into the bin area.
