How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or moving it.
- Step 1 – Improve airflow: Move the ice maker to a cooler, well-ventilated area away from ovens, dishwashers, or direct sunlight.
- Step 2 – Clean condenser: Remove the rear panel and brush/vacuum the condenser fins thoroughly.
- Step 3 – Check fan operation: Confirm the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on.
- Step 4 – Monitor cycle time: After cleaning, time a full ice cycle. If it still takes significantly longer than the manual specifies, the sealed system may be weakening and require professional evaluation.
