Condenser fan air flow is restrict
-
ed.
• Room and/or water temperature is
too warm.
• The water pressure is to low.
• Typical ice production is 6 to 7
pounds per day. Allow for the
freezer section to reach tempera-

control.
• Make certain the grille in front of
the unit is free and open for air cir-
culation. Clean grille as required.
• Move the unit to an area where
ambient temperature is below
115°F. The unit should not be
placed next to a heat source such
as an oven. Check for cold water
connection.
• The water supply line is kinked.
• Sediment build-up in supply line.
Small ice cubes
• Water input may require adjust-
ment.
• Due to differing water pressures,
the ice-maker water input may
require adjustment. Contact a
qualified service technician.
Ice cubes are sticking together.
