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.
