6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Kismile Nugget Ice Maker, refer to the following common solutions:

• 'Add Water' Indicator On: The water reservoir is low. Refill with potable water.
• 'Ice Full' Indicator On: The ice basket is full. Remove ice to resume production.
• No Ice Production:
  • Check if the unit is plugged in and powered on.
  • Ensure the water reservoir is filled.
  • Verify that the ambient temperature is within the recommended operating range (typically 50°F to 90°F).
• Ice is Melting Quickly: Ensure the ice maker is not placed near a heat source or in direct sunlight. The ice basket is not a freezer and ice will melt over time. Transfer ice to a freezer for long-term storage.
