Ice maker forms a solid sheet of ice that does not break into cubes properly.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Misadjusted ice thickness sensor, Faulty harvest heater (if equipped), Stuck tray mechanism, Control board timing error

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting sensors or working near moving parts.

Adjust thickness sensor: Reduce the target ice thickness by adjusting the sensor gap according to the service manual.
Check harvest heater: If your Amica model uses a heater to release ice, test it for continuity and replace if open.
Inspect tray movement: Ensure the tray or grid can move freely and is not obstructed by scale or debris.
Reset control: Perform a factory reset if available in the user menu to restore default timing parameters.
