PROBLEM
Ice cubes are too small (less than
1/2 inch thick).
Ice cubes are too big (greater than
3/4 inch thick).
Hollow ice slab.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Low ice consumption.
Not enough water in reservoir.
Distributor tube is restricted.
Build up of deposits on evaporator plate.
Inadequate drain system.
Leaking drain valve.
Room temperature is too warm.
Ice slab not releasing.
Condenser fan air flow is restricted.
Room temperature is too warm.
Distributor tube is restricted.
Build up of deposits on evaporator plate.
Low water level in reservoir.
CORRECTION
Ice is slowly melting in the ice bin and will affect the size of
the ice cube. This is normal operation. When the ice bin
needs to be replenished, cubes will return to regular size.
Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed properly.
Check the water line to the unit to make sure there are no
restrictions or kinks in the line. Check all filters to make
sure they are not restricted or plugged.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for clean-
ing the unit for proper operation.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for clean-
ing the unit for proper operation and cube size.
Restriction in drain lines will cause ice in the bin to melt to a
thinner cube. If using a gravity drain, make certain there are
no kinks or restrictions in the drain lines. If using a drain
pump, check the inlet screen, discharge line, and vent line
for any build-up or restrictions.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for clean-
ing the unit. This will also dissolve and flush out foreign
material in the drain valve causing it to leak.
Move to an area where temperature is below 90° F.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for clean-
ing the unit for proper operation and cube size.
Make certain the grille in the front of the unit is free and
open for proper air circulation. Check and clean the con-
denser coil by removing the grille in the front of the unit.
Clean the condenser with a vacuum and brush attachment.
Move to an area where temperature is below 90° F.

ing the unit for proper operation.

Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed properly.
