Safety: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before further use.

Steps:

Improve airflow: Ensure at least 10–15 cm clearance around the unit and that vents are not blocked.
Clean rear area: Remove dust from the condenser and fan.
Check room temperature: Use the ice maker only within the recommended ambient temperature range.
