Gastroback Ice Tray Drainage / Tilt Fault

Water remains in the ice tray after the harvest cycle, and new water overflows.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Tray not tilting fully due to motor weakness, Obstruction under tray, Warped tray preventing full dump, Faulty tray position sensor

Safety first: Unplug before manipulating the tray.

Steps:

Clear obstructions: Remove any ice chunks or foreign objects under or around the tray.
Manual tilt test: Gently tilt the tray by hand to ensure it can reach the full dump position without binding.
Inspect tray shape: Look for warping or cracks that might prevent proper movement.

If the tray cannot reach the correct angle during operation, the tray motor or position sensor may need replacement.
