Troubleshooting
Review the following common issues and solutions before contacting customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker not producing ice. | No water in reservoir; power issue; ambient temperature too high. | Fill water reservoir; check power connection; ensure proper ventilation. |
| "ADD WATER" indicator is on. | Water level is low. | Refill the water reservoir with potable water. |
| "ICE FULL" indicator is on. | Ice basket is full. | Empty the ice basket. |
| Ice cubes melt quickly in the basket. | Ice basket is not refrigerated. | This is normal. Transfer ice to a freezer for long-term storage. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Normal operating sounds (compressor, water pump, ice dropping). | Verify the noise is not excessive (should be below 40dB). If unusual, contact support. |
