Loud banging or knocking noise when ice drops.

Safety first: No internal electrical work is required for this symptom.

Steps:

• Check bucket seating: Remove and reinstall the ice bucket, ensuring it is fully seated and locked into place.
• Manage ice level: If the bucket is nearly empty, the sound of ice dropping can be louder. This is often normal. Consider turning off ice production temporarily if noise is bothersome at night.
• Break up large chunks: If large clumps of ice are present, discard them and allow the bucket to refill with fresh cubes.
• Inspect for loose parts: Check the bucket and ice room for any loose plastic parts that could amplify noise. Tighten or replace as needed.
