How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning vents or moving it.

  • Improve ventilation: Move the ProfiCook ice maker to a cooler location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Provide adequate clearance around the unit.
  • Clean air inlets: Use a vacuum or soft brush to remove dust from the condenser vents and fan area.
  • Allow longer run time: Let the unit run for at least 1–2 hours continuously; initial batches are often smaller until the system stabilizes.
  • Check ice size setting: If your model has S/M/L size options, select a larger size to extend the freeze time.
  • If problem persists: The evaporator sensor or control board may be terminating the freeze cycle too early and may require professional diagnosis.
