    may be cutting out on bin stat - give that a tweak.

    its difficult to diagnose the machine without actually seeing it, can only throw suggestions at you but as its a new machine i'd try that first

    Water supply may inadvertently be connected to a HW feed. Also do not rule out short of gas, although cubes would be thin and watery if that was the problem... Have you checked that the plate is icing up properly, that the pump is running and that water is being distributed evenly via the spray bar ?
