Possible Causes
Misadjusted ice thickness sensor, Dirty or slow water circulation, Faulty harvest thermostat or sensor, Control board timing error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting sensors.
- Step 1 – Adjust thickness probe: Move the ice thickness sensor slightly away from the evaporator so harvest occurs sooner, producing thinner, separate cubes.
- Step 2 – Clean water system: Descale the reservoir, pump, and distribution channels to ensure even water flow over the evaporator.
- Step 3 – Check harvest sensor: Inspect the harvest thermostat or sensor for secure mounting and good contact with the evaporator. Replace if suspected faulty.
- Step 4 – Reset control: Perform a power reset to clear any temporary timing glitches in the control board.
