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.
