TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM
Ice cubes are too small
(less than 1/2 inch
thick).
Ice cubes are too big
(greater than 3/4 inch
thick).
Hollow ice slab.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Low ice consumption.
2. Not enough water in reser-
voir.
3. Distributor tube is
restricted.
4. Build-up of deposits on
evaporator plate.
5. Inadequate drain system.
6. Leaking drain valve.
7. Room temperature istoo
warm.
1. Ice slab not releasing.
2. Condenser fan air flow is
restricted.
3. Room temperature istoo
warm.
1. Distributor tube is
restricted.
2. Build-up of deposits on
evaporator plate.
3. Lowwater level in reservoir.
CORRECTION
Ice is slowly melting in the ice bin and will affect the
size of the ice cubes. This is normal operation. When
the ice bin needs to be replenished, cubes will return to
regular size.
Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed
properly. Check the water line to the unit to make sure
there are no restrictions or kinks in the line. Check all
filters to make sure they are not restricted or plugged.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER" section for cleaning
the unit for proper operation.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER" section for cleaning
the unit for proper operation.
Restriction in the drain lines will cause the ice in the bin
to melt to a thinner cube. If using a gravity drain, make
certain there are no kinks or restrictions in the drain
lines. If using a drain pump, check the inlet screen,
discharge line, and vent line for any build-up or restric-
tions.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER" section for cleaning
the unit. This will also dissolve and flush out foreign
material in the drain valve causing it to leak.
Move to an area where temperature is below 90
degrees R
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER" section for cleaning
the unit for proper operation and cube size.
Make certain the grill in the front of the unit is free and
open for proper air circulation. Check and clean the
condenser coil by removing the grill in the front of the
unit. Clean the condenser with a vacuum and brush
attachment.
