Loud knocking or banging noise when ice drops into the bin

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.
