Possible Causes

Defective or blocked internal circulation fan (if equipped), Warm ambient air entering through lid, Degraded cabinet insulation, Continuous lid opening

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before accessing internal fans.

Steps:

  • Limit lid opening: Open the lid only when necessary to reduce warm air entering the storage area.
  • Check lid seal: Inspect the lid gasket (if present) for damage or warping. Replace if it does not seal properly.
  • Inspect internal fan: Some models use a small fan to circulate cool air around the ice basket. Access the fan and ensure it spins freely and is not blocked by ice or debris.
  • Clean fan and vents: Remove dust and ensure air passages are clear.
  • Service if needed: If the fan does not run when it should, replace it with an OBH Nordica-compatible internal circulation fan.
