Possible Causes

Ice bin not fully seated, warped or damaged bin, ice maker mounting bracket bent, freezer not level causing misalignment

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting mounting hardware.

  • Step 1 – Reseat bin: Remove and reinstall the ice bin, ensuring it slides fully back and locks into place.
  • Step 2 – Check for damage: Inspect the bin for cracks or warping that prevent proper seating. Replace if necessary.
  • Step 3 – Level appliance: Adjust Fisher & Paykel leveling feet so the cabinet is square and level.
  • Step 4 – Inspect mounting: Verify the ice maker is firmly attached and not sagging. Tighten or adjust brackets as needed.

After adjustments, observe a harvest cycle to confirm cubes fall cleanly into the bin.
