Possible Causes
Worn or damaged ejector blades, Ice cubes frozen too hard due to very low temperature, Mold surface damaged or rough, Weak mold heater (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before touching the ice mold or ejector.
- Inspect mold and ejector: Look for broken or bent ejector fingers and rough spots in the mold. Replace the ice maker assembly if damaged.
- Adjust temperature: Raise the freezer/ice compartment temperature slightly to prevent over-hardening of cubes.
- Manual release: After a short defrost, gently nudge cubes with a plastic tool to see if they release. Persistent sticking suggests mold surface issues.
- Heater check: If your model uses a mold heater, have a technician test its resistance and operation.
Note: Do not use oil or non-food-safe lubricants on the mold.
