Possible Causes
Bin drain clogged, Warm air infiltration through bin door gasket, Ice thickness too thin, High bin temperature due to poor ventilation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power. Water may be present in the bin; use towels and containers.
Steps:
- Check bin drain: Ensure the bin drain is clear and water flows freely. Clean any blockage and verify proper slope.
- Inspect door gasket: Check the bin door gasket for tears or gaps that allow warm air in. Replace the bin door gasket if damaged.
- Adjust ice thickness: Increase the ice thickness setting slightly to produce more solid cubes.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure the area around the bin is not excessively warm and that the machine’s condenser is not recirculating hot air into the bin area.
