Display shows E10, unit cycles but ice production is extremely low

Safety First: Refrigerant systems are sealed and require EPA-certified service. Do not attempt to cut or open refrigerant lines yourself.

• Step 1 – Basic checks: Ensure condenser coil is clean and fan is operating. Poor airflow can mimic low refrigerant symptoms.
• Step 2 – Observe frost pattern: With panels removed, briefly run the unit and inspect the evaporator plate. A partial frost pattern or only at the inlet may indicate a sealed system issue.
• Step 3 – Listen for compressor: Confirm the compressor runs steadily without short cycling.
• Step 4 – Call a professional: If E10 is present and airflow components are normal, contact a qualified refrigeration technician. They will check system pressures, locate leaks, and recharge with the correct refrigerant.

Operating the unit with a refrigerant fault can cause further damage. Disconnect power until serviced.
