Possible Causes

Low water level in reservoir, Scale buildup on evaporator surface, High ambient temperature, Weak refrigeration performance due to dirty condenser

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning internal components.

Steps:

  • Check water level: Ensure the reservoir is filled to the correct level. Refill with fresh, cold water.
  • Descale evaporator: Drain the unit and fill the reservoir with a mixture of water and food-safe descaler or white vinegar (per Caso instructions). Run a cleaning cycle if available, or let the solution sit in contact with the evaporator plate for 20–30 minutes, then scrub gently with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly.
  • Clean condenser: Remove dust from the condenser coil and ensure the fan is working properly to improve cooling efficiency.
  • Improve ambient conditions: Move the ice maker to a cooler room away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Monitor results: After cleaning and relocating, run several cycles and check cube size. If still very small, the refrigeration system may be weak and require professional diagnosis.
