Troubleshooting
Ice maker does not turn on.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the main power switch is in the 'on' position.
Ice production is slow or stopped.
Verify that the water tank is filled to the appropriate level. Ensure the ice basket is not overly full, preventing ice from dropping. Check that the selected cube size is functioning correctly.
Ice cubes are hollow or irregular.
This can indicate low water levels or issues with the freezing cycle. Ensure the water tank is full and run the self-cleaning cycle to clear any potential blockages.
