Ice maker produces ice very slowly; takes much longer than specified to fill the basket.

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing panels.

• Check ambient conditions: Ensure the room temperature is within the recommended range and the unit is not near heat sources.
• Clean condenser and fan: Remove the rear cover and clean the condenser fins and fan blades. Verify the fan spins freely and runs whenever the compressor is on.
• Check door/lid seal: Make sure the lid closes properly to reduce warm air entering the ice-making chamber.
• Allow recovery time: If you frequently remove large amounts of ice, allow the unit time to recover. Continuous opening of the lid slows production.
• Monitor frost pattern: After 15–20 minutes of operation, inspect the evaporator plate. It should have an even frost pattern. If only a small section frosts, there may be a partial refrigerant issue requiring professional service.
