Troubleshooting

If a power cut occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, unexpected pushing of the POWER button during an ice-making cycle or power blackout, the already formed ice on the evaporator will not fall immediately but keep sticking to the evaporator. Under this circumstance, please disconnect the power cord and gently push the shovel to the rear of the ice-making cabinet, then power on again, and let the ice fall by itself before pressing the POWER button to restart the ice-making cycle.
