Possible Causes

Bin not used frequently, warm air leaks into bin, ice maker overfilling bin, bin drain blocked

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working inside the bin area.

  • Break up clumps: Remove large blocks of ice and discard or break them up manually. Do not use sharp metal tools that can damage the bin.
  • Check bin door seal: Inspect and clean the gasket to ensure a tight seal, preventing warm air from melting and refreezing ice.
  • Verify ice level control: Ensure the ice level sensor or shutoff arm stops production when the bin is full. Repair or replace if the bin is overfilling.
  • Improve usage pattern: Use ice regularly or occasionally empty and refresh the bin to prevent long-term compaction.
