Possible Causes
Ice not used frequently, Ice compartment temperature fluctuating, Warm air leaks around door, Ice bin heater (if equipped) malfunctioning
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No hazardous disassembly is typically required.
- Increase usage: Use ice more frequently or discard old ice regularly to prevent long-term storage and clumping.
- Check door seal: Inspect and replace damaged gaskets to prevent warm air from entering and partially melting ice.
- Verify temperature stability: Avoid frequent door openings and ensure the compartment is not overloaded, which can block airflow.
- Bin heater check: If your model has a bin heater and ice is partially melting, have a technician test the heater control; it may be staying on too long.
Note: Breaking up clumps manually is a temporary solution; address underlying temperature issues for a lasting fix.
