Troubleshooting

Ice maker not producing ice

Check if the water tank is filled to the correct level. Ensure the machine is plugged in and the ON/OFF button has been pressed. Verify that the ambient temperature is within the operating range (typically 10-32°C).

Ice cubes are too small or large

Select the desired ice size using the control panel. Ensure the machine is not nearing the end of its ice-making cycle for the selected size.

Water is leaking

Ensure the drain plug is securely closed. Check for any cracks or damage to the water tank or casing. Contact customer support if leakage persists.

Machine is making unusual noises

Some operational noise is normal due to the compressor and fan. However, if the noise is excessive or sounds like grinding, turn off the unit, unplug it, and check for any obstructions in the fan or ice chute. Contact support if the issue continues.

Indicator light shows 'Add Water' but the tank is full

Ensure the water level sensor is not obstructed and that the water in the tank is clean. Try emptying and refilling the tank.
