How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before adjusting internal parts.
- Check evaporator mounting: Ensure all screws and brackets holding the evaporator plate are tight.
- Inspect ice deflector: Verify that the deflector or chute guiding ice into the bin is secure and not striking the bin walls.
- Observe harvest: Watch a harvest cycle to see where the impact occurs and adjust components to reduce drop height or interference.
Some noise during harvest is normal, but excessive banging can often be reduced by tightening and aligning parts.
