Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DUMOS Ice Maker, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker not turning on | No power supply | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. |
| "ADD WATER" indicator is on | Water reservoir is empty or low | Fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the 'MAX' line. |
| "ICE FULL" indicator is on | Ice basket is full | Remove ice from the basket. The machine will resume operation automatically. |
| No ice production | Insufficient water, high ambient temperature, or air blockage | Ensure water is sufficient. Operate in a cooler environment. Check for any obstructions in the water circulation path. |
