Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting sensors.
- Adjust thickness control: Reduce the ice thickness setting slightly and monitor results over several cycles.
- Clean thickness probe: Remove scale from the probe so it can accurately sense the ice slab.
- Check water flow: Ensure the water distribution is even; clean the spray bar or distribution tube.
- Replace probe: If adjustments have no effect, replace the ice thickness sensor/probe.
