Possible Causes
Low water level, Warm inlet water, Dirty evaporator plate, Restricted water flow from pump
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.
Steps to improve ice quality:
- Check water level: Ensure the reservoir is filled to the proper line.
- Use cooler water: Fill with cold, filtered water to reduce freeze time and improve cube density.
- Clean evaporator: Run a cleaning cycle and manually wipe the evaporator plate to remove scale.
- Inspect pump and filter: Clean any intake screens and verify the circulation pump is delivering a steady flow over the evaporator.
Note: In very hot rooms, some reduction in cube size is normal; improving ventilation can help.
