Possible Causes
Excessive water level in reservoir, Misadjusted float or water level sensor, Clogged drain causing high water level, Freeze cycle too long due to sensor miscalibration.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power and water before making any adjustments.
- Inspect water level: During operation, check that the water level in the reservoir matches the mark specified in the service manual. If too high, adjust the float or water level sensor accordingly.
- Clean drain line: Ensure the reservoir drains properly between cycles. Clear any obstructions in the internal drain line.
- Descale evaporator and sensors: Scale buildup can affect temperature sensing and freeze time. Perform a full descaling procedure.
- Trim bridge (temporary): As a temporary measure, manually break up large ice bridges in the bin to prevent jams.
When to call a technician: If cube size remains excessive after water level and cleaning corrections, the freeze timing on the control board may need adjustment.
