How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before defrosting heavy ice buildup.

  • Inspect gaskets: Check the ice room door and main door gaskets for tears or gaps. Replace any damaged gaskets.
  • Check ice chute door: Ensure the ice chute flap closes fully after dispensing. Replace the flap or spring if it hangs open.

  • Verify fan operation: Confirm the ice room fan runs to keep air circulating. Replace the fan motor if it is not operating.
