Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coils, High ambient temperature, Low water pressure, Scale buildup on evaporator or sensors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning coils or internal components.

Improve airflow:

  • Ensure the Summit ice maker has proper clearance and is not installed near ovens or direct sunlight.
  • Clean the condenser coils with a brush and vacuum.

Water and scale:

  • Verify adequate water pressure and that the inlet screen is clean.
  • Run a full descaling cycle using a manufacturer-approved ice machine cleaner to remove mineral deposits from the evaporator plate, water distribution system, and sensors.

Monitor: After cleaning, allow 24 hours of operation to evaluate improvement. If production remains low, a refrigeration technician should check system pressures and components.
