Possible Causes

Ice thickness control set too high, Faulty thickness sensor stuck in a low reading, Slow harvest due to scale on the evaporator, Warm bin causing partial melt and refreeze

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before internal inspection.

  • Reduce thickness setting: Adjust the ice thickness control to a thinner setting as per the user manual.
  • Clean evaporator: Descale the evaporator plate to ensure quick and even ice release during harvest.
  • Check bin temperature: Make sure the bin door closes properly and the bin is not exposed to warm drafts that cause melting and refreezing.
  • Inspect sensor: Verify that the thickness sensor is clean and firmly attached. Replace if it appears faulty.
  • Monitor ice: After adjustments, monitor ice shape over several hours to confirm improvement.
