Possible Causes
Ice bin temperature too warm, frequent door openings causing melting and refreezing, ice maker overfilling bin, poor bin ventilation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Avoid using sharp tools to break ice clumps; risk of bin damage.
- Step 1 – Break up clumps: Remove the bin and gently break apart clumped ice by hand. Discard heavily fused blocks.
- Step 2 – Check temperature: Ensure the freezer and ice compartment are at correct temperatures. Adjust if too warm.
- Step 3 – Limit door openings: Reduce the frequency and duration of door openings to minimize warm air entering.
- Step 4 – Verify shutoff: Confirm the bin full sensor or arm stops production when the bin is full to prevent overpacking.
Persistent clumping may require adjusting storage habits or bin position.
