Possible Causes
Melted ice overflowing bucket, Cracked ice bucket, Blocked ice chute causing meltwater to back up, Door not sealing properly around ice room
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator if you will remove door panels or work near electrical parts.
Steps:
- Empty and inspect ice bucket: Remove the bucket, discard clumped or partially melted ice, and dry the bucket. Check for cracks or damage; replace if necessary.
- Check ice chute: Look up into the ice chute for stuck ice or frost buildup. Clear any obstruction by hand; do not use sharp tools.
- Inspect door gasket: Examine the freezer or ice room door gasket for gaps, tears, or debris. Clean the gasket and door frame with warm soapy water and ensure a tight seal.
- Verify door closure: Make sure the door closes fully and is not held open by items in the compartment. Misalignment can cause warm air infiltration and melting.
