8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ice maker, refer to the following table for common problems and solutions:

|---|---|---|
| "ADD WATER" indicator flashes | Water reservoir is empty or water level is too low. | Add potable water to the reservoir up to the MAX fill line. |
| "ICE FULL" indicator is on, but basket is not full | Ice cubes are blocking the ice sensor. | Rearrange or remove some ice cubes from the basket. |
| Ice maker is not making ice | No water in reservoir; ambient temperature too high; air vent blocked. | Fill water; ensure room temperature is suitable (10-32°C); clear air vent. |
