Possible Causes

Door or lid not sealing, warm air infiltration, failed bin fan (if equipped), high ambient temperature.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before adjusting door or fan components.

Steps to improve ice storage:

  • Check lid/door seal: Inspect the gasket for damage and ensure the lid closes fully. Replace the gasket if torn or deformed.
  • Minimize openings: Avoid leaving the lid open for extended periods.
  • Check bin fan: Some models use a fan to circulate cold air. Verify the fan runs when the unit is operating; replace it if failed.
  • Ambient conditions: Move the unit to a cooler location if the room temperature is very high.
