Ice maker interior frosts heavily; ice builds up on walls and components.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before defrosting.

Steps to reduce frost:

• Defrost: Turn off and unplug the ice maker. Leave the lid open and allow all frost to melt. Place towels to catch water.
• Check lid seal: Inspect the lid gasket for cracks, gaps, or deformation. Replace if damaged.
• Improve environment: Move the unit to a less humid area if possible.
• Limit openings: Avoid leaving the lid open for long periods while the unit is running.

When to call a professional: If frost returns quickly despite a good seal, there may be an internal air leak or insulation issue requiring service.
