Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ice production stops, "Ice Full" indicator is off. | Ice cubes are stuck on the sensor, preventing new production. | Gently clear any ice cubes obstructing the ice full sensor. |
| "Add Water" indicator is on, but reservoir has water. | Water level sensor malfunction or obstruction. | Ensure the water level is above the minimum sensor. If the problem persists, clean the sensor area or consult support. |
| Water leaks from the unit. | Drainage valve not properly closed. | Check the drainage valve at the bottom of the unit and ensure it is securely closed. |
| Ice cubes are too small or soft. | Water temperature is too high, or ambient temperature is warm. | Use colder water. Ensure the unit is in a cool, well-ventilated area. Select the 'L' (large) ice cube size. |
