Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil, High ambient temperature, Partially blocked water filter or inlet, Early signs of low refrigerant charge

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.
