Ice maker makes a loud knocking or banging sound during harvest

Safety: Unplug the unit before tightening any internal hardware.

• 1. Observe harvest: Watch a harvest cycle with the front panel removed. Identify where the noise originates (evaporator, bin, chute).
• 2. Adjust ice thickness: If slabs are excessively thick and hitting the bin hard, reduce the ice thickness setting slightly.
• 3. Tighten mounts: Check screws securing the evaporator frame, bin, and internal panels. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• 4. Align deflectors: Ensure the ice deflector or chute is properly positioned so ice falls cleanly into the bin without striking metal edges.
