Ice maker produces ice very slowly; ice cubes are small or hollow.

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning or servicing the rear compartment.

• Clean condenser: Use a soft brush and vacuum to remove dust from the condenser coil. Improved airflow can significantly boost performance.
• Improve ventilation: Ensure the unit has adequate clearance on all sides and is not installed near ovens, radiators, or direct sunlight.
• Check door/lid seal: Inspect the gasket for gaps or damage that could allow warm air in. Replace if necessary.
• Allow recovery time: After heavy use or installation, allow 24 hours for the system to stabilize.
• Call a technician if unresolved: If performance remains poor after cleaning and ventilation improvements, a sealed system issue (low charge or restriction) may exist and requires professional service.
