PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

CORRECTION

Ice cubes are too small (less than 1/2 inch

thick).

7. Leaking drain valve

See “Cleaning Your Ice Maker” section for

cleaning the unit. This will also dissolve

and flush out foreign material in the

drain valve causing it to leak.

8. Room temperature is too cold.

Move to an area where temperature is

above 55 degrees F.

Ice cubes are too big (greater than 3/4

inch thick).

1. Ice slab not releasing.

See “Cleaning Your Ice Maker” section for

cleaning the unit for proper operation

and cube size.

2. Condenser fan air flow is restricted.

Make certain the grill in the front of the

unit is free and open for proper air circu-

lation. Check and clean the condenser

coil by removing the grill in the front of

the unit. Clean the condenser with a

vacuum and brush attachment.

3. Room temperature is too warm.

Move to an area where temperature is

below 90 degrees F.

4. Evaporator thermistor does not have

sufficient contact with evaporator or out-

of-range.

Check to see that the evaporator therm-

istor is secured properly to the evapora-

tor. If secured, check resistance with

Table C in Section 5.2, Thermistors.

Hollow ice slab.

1. Distributor tube is restricted.

See “Cleaning Your Ice Maker” section for

cleaning the unit for proper operation.

2. Build-up of deposits on evaporator

plate.

See “Cleaning Your Ice Maker” section for

cleaning the unit for proper operation

and cube size.

3. Low water level in reservoir.

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 restrict-

ed or plugged.

4. Leak in the sealed system.

Check for any leaks. If leak found, repair,

evacuate, and re-charge unit.

Ice is not clear.

1. Low water level in reservoir.

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 restrict-

ed or plugged.

2. Softened water supply.

Make certain the water line is not con-

nected to the water softener.

3. Room temperature is too cold.

Move the unit to an area where room

temperature is above 55 degrees F.
