Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not turn on. | Power cord not properly connected or no power from outlet. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged into the unit and a working grounded outlet. |
| Water flow is weak or inconsistent. | Insufficient water/ice, kinked tubing, or clogged filter. | Check ice and water levels. Ensure tubing is not kinked. Verify the mesh filter in the lid is clean and free of debris. |
| Leaking at connections. | Hoses not securely connected. | Ensure all hose connections are fully inserted until an audible click is heard. Check for any damage to the O-rings or connectors. |
| Condensation on hoses/connections. | Normal operation due to temperature difference. | This is normal and not indicative of a leak. Place a towel underneath if desired. |
