Ice production is much slower than specified, even though the unit eventually fills the bin.

Safety: Unplug before cleaning.

Steps:

• Clean condenser coil and fan: Remove dust and ensure the fan spins freely.
• Descale evaporator and water system: Run a full cleaning cycle with ice machine cleaner.
• Relocate unit: Move the ice maker away from heat sources and into a cooler room if possible.
• Monitor performance: If production remains low after cleaning and improving conditions, a sealed system issue may exist and require professional service.
