8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your ice maker, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.
| Phenomenon | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leakage | The drain plug is not plugged in or is not plugged in properly. | Plug the drain plug into the drain tube. |
| Water leakage | Condensate for an extended period may lead to overflow from the front drain hole of the base into the drip tray. | Condensation water may accumulate on the base due to high humidity or prolonged use of the Ice Maker. Simply tilt the machine slightly to allow water to flow out of the drain hole of the base. |
| Slow ice making or no ice making | The ambient or water temperature is too high. | The machine should be operated under 90°F, and the temperature of adding water should be 45°F-90°F. |
| Slow ice making or no ice making | Refrigerant leakage or blockage. | Please contact professional after-sales service personnel via support@aeitto.com. |
| Ice maker makes a squeaking noise. | The sound of ice piling up and squeezing inside the machine. | Turn the Ice Maker off and allow it to defrost for at least 10 hours. When the ice has melted, switch it back on. |
