Sencor Premature harvest / insufficient freeze

Water remains in the ice tray and does not freeze completely before harvest.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty evaporator temperature sensor, Incorrect cycle timing on main PCB, High water temperature, Weak compressor

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing sensors or the control board.

Steps:

Use cooler water: Fill the tank with cool (not warm) water to reduce freeze time.
Ambient temperature: Ensure the unit is not in a hot environment.
Sensor replacement: If the unit consistently harvests too early, replace the evaporator NTC sensor which signals when ice is ready.
Control board: If a new sensor does not help, the main control board may be mis-timed and require replacement.
