Possible Causes

Loose ice bin, hard plastic bin contacting cabinet, misaligned harvest sweep arm, excessive ice drop height

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting bin or harvest components.

  • Stabilize ice bin: Ensure the bin is fully seated in its rails and not loose. Replace worn bin slides or pads.
  • Add cushioning: Some models use rubber bumpers where the bin contacts the cabinet. Replace missing bumpers or add thin foam pads.
  • Check harvest arm alignment: Inspect the sweep arm or ejector fingers to ensure they push ice cleanly into the bin without striking the bin walls.
  • Do not overfill: If the bin is overfull, ice may hit the underside of the top panel. Adjust ice level or bin position.
