Possible Causes

Ice not removed frequently, Poor bin ventilation, Bin too close to evaporator causing refreezing, Room temperature too warm causing partial melt and refreeze

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit if you need to reach near the evaporator or moving parts.

Steps to reduce clumping:

  • Empty ice regularly: Transfer ice to a freezer more frequently instead of letting it sit in the bin for long periods.
  • Stir ice occasionally: Gently shake or stir the ice in the basket to break up pieces before they fuse together.
  • Check bin position: Ensure the bin is properly seated and not touching the evaporator plate.
  • Adjust room conditions: Avoid placing the unit in very warm, humid rooms where ice will melt quickly and refreeze in clumps.
