Possible Causes
Broken plastic gears in harvest assembly, Misaligned ejector arm, Ice buildup around moving parts, Foreign object in ice maker head
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before accessing the ice maker head or moving parts.
Steps to check:
- Remove bin: Take out the ice bin to expose the ice maker head.
- Inspect for ice jams: Look for large chunks or bridges of ice around the ejector fingers. Allow them to melt or gently remove them without using sharp tools.
- Check gears: Remove the cover on the ice maker head to inspect the gear train. If teeth are stripped or broken, replace the entire Grundig ice maker module or gear kit if available.
- Realign ejector arm: Ensure the ejector arm is seated correctly and not bent. Replace if deformed.
