the ice cubes from my aglucky are coming out super thin and hollow, like shells.

— asked by Sam

Quick answer: The water distribution system isn't coating the cold evaporator plate evenly, so ice only forms in patches. This is almost always a water inlet or spray nozzle clog.

Diagnosis

The water distribution system isn't coating the cold evaporator plate evenly, so ice only forms in patches. This is almost always a water inlet or spray nozzle clog.

How to Fix It

Clean the spray nozzle and water inlet tube with a vinegar solution. Unplug, empty water, remove the ice basket and evaporator cover. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner dipped in vinegar to clear the small hole where water sprays out.

If That Didn't Work

The ambient room temperature might be too high. These units struggle to form solid cubes above 85°F (29°C). Move it to a cooler, well-ventilated spot away from ovens or direct sun.

Heads Up

Using hard tap water accelerates this clog. For consistent solid cubes, use filtered or distilled water and clean the nozzle every two weeks.
