Possible Causes

Ice thickness sensor out of adjustment, failed thickness probe, control board not terminating freeze cycle, low water flow causing uneven freeze

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.
