Possible Causes

Freezer temperature too high, Dirty condenser coil, Partially blocked water inlet, Ice thickness sensor out of calibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and close the water supply before cleaning or disassembly.

  • Check temperature: Use a thermometer in the ice compartment. Zanussi ice makers typically need around -10°C to -18°C at the evaporator to form ice. If too warm, inspect condenser cleanliness and fan operation.
  • Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coil to improve heat rejection and cooling performance.
  • Verify water supply: Confirm strong water flow at the inlet hose and clean the inlet filter. Replace any clogged external filters.
  • Inspect ice thickness sensor: Clean and realign the sensor as per the service manual. Incorrect readings can cause premature harvest and no usable ice.
  • Run diagnostics: If available, enter Zanussi diagnostic mode to test compressor, fans, pump, and valves individually. Replace any component that fails to operate.
