How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning the condenser or internal parts.
Steps to improve production:
- Clean condenser: Remove dust and lint from the condenser coil with a brush and vacuum.
- Check room conditions: Ensure the ice maker is not installed near ovens, direct sunlight, or in a room above the specified temperature range.
- Verify water flow: Confirm strong water flow into the reservoir and through the spray nozzles. Clean any clogged filters or nozzles.
- Inspect door/bin: Make sure doors and bin lids close properly to keep cold air inside.
Recommendation: If performance remains poor after cleaning and basic checks, a technician should evaluate the refrigeration system for low charge or compressor issues.
