Possible Causes
Loose ice grid or evaporator mounting, Ice slab too thick, Misaligned ice cutter or grid, Bin components hitting cabinet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before adjusting internal assemblies.
- Inspect evaporator mounting: Check that the evaporator plate or grid is firmly secured to its brackets. Tighten any loose screws.
- Adjust ice thickness: Reduce the ice thickness setting to prevent overly thick slabs that drop with excessive force.
- Check ice cutter: Ensure the ice cutting grid or mechanism is properly aligned and not striking metal parts during harvest.
- Bin inspection: Verify that the bin and its guides are correctly seated and not slamming against the cabinet when ice falls.
- Test harvest: Restore power and observe a harvest cycle to confirm noise reduction.
