If your ice maker is taking four hours or more, something’s off. Maybe the water line is pinched, or the freezer’s door seal is leaking cold air. It’s like your fridge is trying to make ice with a hairdryer instead of a fan.
Don’t panic—most issues are fixable. Check the water filter (clogged filters slow everything down), and ensure the freezer isn’t in “defrost” mode. And if all else fails, go old school: buy a bag of ice and let your machine apologize later.
