Whynter Insufficient Water Fill / Short Freeze Time

Ice cubes are too small or hollow

Advertisements

Possible Causes

Low water level in reservoir, Partially clogged water inlet valve or filter, Misadjusted ice thickness sensor, Shortened freeze cycle due to sensor error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before accessing internal components or water connections.

Steps to correct small/hollow ice:

  • Check water level: Ensure the reservoir is filled to the proper level and that the float moves freely.
  • Inspect water quality: Hard water can cause scale buildup. Use filtered water if possible.
  • Clean water system: Run a cleaning cycle with a manufacturer-approved cleaner or a mild vinegar solution, then flush thoroughly.
  • Check inlet valve (plumbed models): Ensure the water supply valve is fully open and the inlet screen is not clogged. Clean or replace the inlet valve if flow is restricted.
  • Adjust thickness sensor: If your model allows, slightly increase the ice thickness setting so the freeze cycle runs longer.
