• "Ice Full" Indicator On: The ice basket is full. Remove some ice cubes to allow the machine to resume production.
• Unusual Loud Noise: If the machine starts making loud noises, especially after some use, it may indicate an issue with internal components. Ensure the unit is on a stable surface and that the water separator pipe is not blocked. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• No Ice Production: Check if the water tank is filled, the unit is powered on, and the ambient temperature is within the recommended operating range. Ensure the water separator pipe is clear.
