Possible Causes

Low water level in reservoir, Partially clogged water inlet valve, Misadjusted ice thickness sensor, Scale buildup on evaporator

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and close the water supply before servicing water components.

Water level:

  • Check the water reservoir during a fill cycle. If it is not reaching the proper level, clean the inlet valve screen and verify water pressure.
  • Replace the water inlet valve if it does not fully open.

Ice thickness control:

  • Locate the ice thickness sensor or adjustment screw (if your Summit model has one). Refer to the manual for proper setting.
  • Clean the sensor and evaporator surface with ice machine cleaner to remove scale that can cause premature harvest.

Adjust: Make small adjustments to the thickness setting and test several cycles until cube size is acceptable.
