Ice cubes are very small or hollow; ice melts quickly in the bin.

Safety: Unplug the ice maker and turn off water supply (if plumbed) before disassembly.

Steps:

• Check water level: Ensure the reservoir is filled to the proper level and that the float or sensor is not stuck in a low position.
• Clean distribution system: Remove the top cover of the ice-making chamber and inspect the water distribution tube or spray bar above the evaporator. Clean any mineral deposits with a vinegar solution and a soft brush.
• Replace filter: If your SMAD model has an inline water filter, replace it according to the manual, especially if water flow seems weak.
• Inspect pump: Listen for the circulation pump during operation. If it is noisy or intermittent, test and replace the circulation water pump if necessary.
