Ice maker makes a loud clicking or knocking sound during harvest when ice drops.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching internal moving parts.

Steps to reduce harvest noise:

• Inspect ice shovel/arm: Remove the top cover and check that the ice shovel or sweep arm is firmly attached to its shaft. Tighten any loose screws.
• Check for obstructions: Look for plastic flashing or foreign objects that ice may be striking as it falls. Trim or remove obstructions.
• Adjust ice size: Select a smaller ice size to reduce cube mass and impact.
• Secure motor mounts: Verify that the harvest motor and bracket are tightly fastened to the frame. Tighten screws if needed.
