Possible Causes

Partially clogged water distribution tube, Weak water circulation pump, Low water level in reservoir, Mineral buildup on evaporator

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning internal water components.

Steps:

  • Check water level: Ensure the reservoir is filled to the correct level with clean, cold water.
  • Clean water distribution system: Remove the ice basket and locate the water distribution tray or tube above the evaporator. Clean its holes with a soft brush or toothpick to remove scale or debris.
  • Descale system: Run a cleaning cycle with a vinegar solution to dissolve internal mineral deposits.
  • Inspect pump performance: During operation, you should see a steady flow of water over the evaporator. If flow is weak or intermittent, the circulation pump may be failing and should be replaced.
  • Use filtered water: To prevent recurrence, use filtered or low-mineral water.
