How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the ice maker before inspecting moving parts.
- Secure ice bin: Ensure the bin is correctly seated and any retaining clips are engaged.
- Inspect ejector mechanism: Remove the bin and observe the ejector rake or arm during a manual harvest. Look for misalignment or excessive play indicating worn gears.
- Adjust cube size: If cubes are too large and jam, adjust the ice thickness setting or clean the thickness probe.
- Check auger (if present): Ensure the auger shaft is straight and bearings are not worn. Replace the auger assembly if damaged.
