The IceKing ice maker's internal surfaces and evaporator are covered in heavy frost or ice.

Safety First: Unplug the unit before defrosting. Do not use sharp tools to remove ice.

Step-by-Step Checks:

• 1. Manual Defrost: Turn off and unplug the ice maker. Leave the door open until all frost melts. Use towels to absorb water.
• 2. Inspect Gasket: Replace a damaged door gasket to prevent moist air infiltration.
• 3. Check Door Usage: Reduce how often the door is opened, especially in humid environments.
• 4. Observe Operation: After defrosting, monitor whether frost quickly returns. If so, a defrost/harvest control issue may exist.

When to Call a Technician: Persistent frost after gasket replacement suggests a control or sensor problem that needs professional diagnosis.
