Possible Causes

Ice size set to maximum, Harvest cycle too long due to sensor fault, High humidity causing cubes to freeze together in bin, Ice not removed regularly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before breaking up ice jams.

Steps:

  • Reduce ice size: Set the machine to a smaller cube size to shorten freeze time.
  • Empty bin regularly: Transfer ice to a freezer-safe container in your freezer instead of leaving it in the bin for long periods.
  • Break up clumps: Gently break apart large blocks by hand; do not use sharp tools that could damage plastic parts.

If cubes are oversized even on smaller settings, the ice thickness sensor may be faulty and require replacement.
