Possible Causes
Misadjusted ice thickness sensor, Stuck water level float in high position, Control board mis-timing fill cycle
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the ice maker before adjusting sensors.
- Clean and free float: Ensure the water level float moves freely and is not stuck at the top due to scale or debris.
- Adjust thickness sensor: If your model has an adjustable ice thickness probe, move it slightly closer to the evaporator so harvest occurs earlier, reducing cube size.
- Run test cycles: After adjustment, run several cycles and observe cube size. Make small adjustments as needed.
- Control board: If cube size remains excessive despite sensor adjustments, the control board may be mis-timing the cycle and could require replacement.
