Possible Causes

Freezer temperature set too warm, Dirty condenser coils reducing cooling efficiency, Ice compartment fan partially failing, Door gasket leaking warm air

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before cleaning coils or working near moving parts.

  • Check temperature setting: Ensure the freezer is set to the manufacturer-recommended setting. Lower the temperature slightly if needed.
  • Clean condenser: Pull the unit out and clean the condenser coils with a soft brush and vacuum. Blocked coils reduce overall cooling capacity.
  • Inspect door seals: Close a sheet of paper in the door and pull; if it slides out easily, the gasket may be leaking. Replace damaged gaskets.
  • Verify fan operation: Listen for the ice compartment and condenser fans. If either is weak or intermittent, replace the faulty fan.

Note: After improvements, monitor ice output over 24–48 hours.
