SMEG Water Distribution or Freeze Pattern Issue

Ice maker produces ice but the cubes are irregularly shaped or fused together on the plate.

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

Clogged or misaligned water distributor, Uneven evaporator plate temperature, Scale buildup causing water to pool, Faulty circulation pump

Safety first: Unplug the unit and close the water supply.

Steps:

Inspect distributor: Remove and clean the water distributor or spray bar. Ensure all holes are clear and the bar is correctly positioned.
Descale evaporator: Run a descaling cycle to remove scale that can alter water flow and freezing.
Check circulation pump: Verify the pump is running and delivering even water flow across the plate. Replace if weak or intermittent.
Re-test: After cleaning and reassembly, run several cycles and observe ice formation for improvement.
