How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before adjusting the harvest assembly.
- Inspect tray and arms: Open the ice compartment and look for loose screws, bent arms, or misaligned tray supports.
- Remove obstructions: Clear any large ice chunks or foreign objects from the tray and bin area.
- Adjust ice thickness: If cubes are excessively thick, reduce the thickness setting to lessen harvest force.
- Tighten hardware: Secure any loose brackets or screws on the harvest motor and tray assembly.
