Ice maker produces ice very slowly; ice cycles take much longer than normal and daily ice output is low.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or removing panels.

Steps to improve ice production:

• Clean condenser and fan: Remove rear/bottom panels and thoroughly clean the condenser coils and fan blades.
• Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the unit and avoid enclosing it in tight spaces.
• Check door/cover seal: Make sure any lid or door closes fully so warm air is not constantly entering.
• Descale evaporator: Mineral buildup on the evaporator plate can insulate it. Run a full cleaning/descaling cycle and manually wipe the plate.

Note: If performance remains poor after cleaning and ventilation improvements, the sealed system may be weak or undercharged, which requires a refrigeration technician.
