Poor Ice Release / Harvest Sticking
Ice cubes stick to the evaporator and do not drop into the bin, causing jams.

Possible Causes
Scale buildup on evaporator, Incorrect ice thickness setting, Low water temperature causing over-freezing, Weak tray motor not completing harvest
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before cleaning the evaporator.
Steps:
- Descale evaporator: Gently clean the metal fingers/plate with a descaling solution and soft cloth to restore a smooth surface.
- Adjust ice size: Select a smaller cube size to shorten freeze time and reduce sticking.
- Check water temperature: Avoid using very cold water from the fridge; room-temperature water can improve release.
If cubes still fail to release and the tray does not fully tilt, the tray motor may be weak and should be replaced.
