Possible Causes

Condenser coil dirty, Ambient temperature too high, Evaporator partially frosted due to weak defrost, Low refrigerant charge in sealed system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before cleaning coils.

Steps:

  • Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coil and surrounding area to improve heat dissipation.
  • Check installation: Ensure adequate ventilation space around the unit and that it is not installed near ovens or direct sunlight.
  • Defrost evaporator: If you see heavy frost on the evaporator behind the internal panel, perform a full manual defrost and then monitor for recurrence.
  • Monitor performance: After cleaning and defrosting, allow 24 hours for the ice maker to stabilize.

If production remains low, a sealed‑system issue (compressor or refrigerant) may be present and requires a professional technician.
