Possible Causes

Bin temperature too warm, poor air circulation in bin, ice not used frequently, warm air entering bin frequently

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal electrical work is needed for this symptom.

Steps:

  • Increase usage: Use or discard ice more frequently to prevent long-term melting and refreezing.
  • Improve bin airflow: Ensure the ice basket is properly seated and not blocking air vents inside the bin area.
  • Reduce door openings: Avoid opening the lid excessively, which introduces warm, humid air.
  • Break up clumps: Periodically break up ice clumps with the scoop to maintain loose cubes.
