Possible Causes

Ice thickness control set too high, Faulty thickness sensor stuck in low reading, Slow harvest due to scale on evaporator, Warm bin causing partial melt and refreeze

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before internal inspection.

  • Reduce thickness setting: Adjust the ice thickness control to a thinner setting as per the user manual.
  • Clean evaporator: Descale the evaporator plate to ensure quick and even ice release during harvest.
  • Check bin temperature: Make sure the bin door closes properly and the bin is not exposed to warm drafts that cause melting and refreezing.
  • Inspect sensor: Verify that the thickness sensor is clean and firmly attached. Replace if it appears faulty.
  • Monitor ice: After adjustments, monitor ice shape over several hours to confirm improvement.
