Ice maker produces ice very slowly; it takes much longer than specified to fill the basket.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning the condenser or moving it.

• Improve airflow: Ensure at least 10–15 cm clearance on all sides and above the unit. Do not enclose it in a cabinet.
• Clean condenser: Use a vacuum and soft brush to remove dust from the condenser coil and fan area.
• Lower ambient temperature: Move the ice maker to a cooler room if possible. Most Swan ice makers are rated for operation up to around 32°C; above this, performance drops.
• Descale evaporator: Mineral buildup on the evaporator can insulate it. Run a descaling/cleaning cycle per the manual.

If ice production remains significantly below normal after these steps, the sealed refrigeration system may be partially failing and should be evaluated by a technician.
