Possible Causes
Overfilling due to sticking inlet valve, Ice maker not level, Warm air infiltration causing partial melting and refreezing, Misaligned fill funnel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before adjusting the ice maker or inspecting the valve.
- Break up clumps: Remove the ice bin and discard clumped ice. Clean the bin with warm water and dry thoroughly.
- Check level: Use a small level to verify the appliance and ice maker are level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust the appliance feet as needed.
- Inspect door gasket: Ensure the freezer door seals properly to prevent warm air from entering and partially melting ice.
- Observe fill: Watch a fill cycle. If water overflows the mold, the valve may be sticking or the control overfilling. Replace the valve if it does not shut off cleanly.
- Re-test: After corrections, monitor several batches. Persistent bridging may indicate an internal ice maker fault requiring replacement.
