Possible Causes

Failed mold heater, Stripped ejector gear, Ice cubes oversized and jammed, Ice maker motor failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before handling the ice maker.

  • Check for jammed cubes: Remove the bin and inspect the mold. If cubes are stuck, gently loosen them with a plastic utensil.
  • Observe cycle: With power restored, watch a harvest cycle. If the ejector arm does not move or stalls, the motor or gears are likely bad.
  • Test heater (advanced): Use a multimeter to check continuity of the mold heater. An open circuit indicates failure.
  • Replace ice maker: Because heater and gears are integrated, replace the entire Bosch ice maker assembly if ejection remains unreliable.
