Possible Causes

Bin temperature too warm, Defective bin thermostat, Ice not ejected fully dry, Poor air circulation in bin

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use only plastic tools when handling ice to avoid damaging liners or sensors.

Reducing clumping:

  • Empty and dry bin: Remove all ice, discard clumped cubes, and dry the bin thoroughly.
  • Check bin temperature: Use a thermometer to verify the bin stays below freezing. If too warm, inspect door seals and airflow.
  • Inspect harvest cycle: Ensure cubes are fully frozen and released cleanly from the evaporator. If they are wet or slushy, check evaporator temperature and harvest timing.
  • Bin thermostat: If equipped, test and replace a faulty Siemens bin thermostat that allows excessive warming.
