Tristar Reduced Ice Production

Ice maker operates but ice production is very slow compared to normal.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Dirty condenser, High ambient temperature, Scale on evaporator, Weak compressor, Poor water circulation

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning.

Performance improvement steps:

Clean condenser and fan: Remove dust to improve cooling efficiency.
Descale evaporator: Run a descaling cycle to restore heat transfer.
Check water flow: Ensure the Tristar water circulation pump is working and the distribution tube is not blocked.
Lower room temperature: Move the unit to a cooler area if possible.
Monitor: If production remains low after cleaning, the compressor or sealed system may be weakening and require professional service.
