Possible Causes

Empty plastic bin amplifying sound, Ice dropping from excessive height, Loose bin or internal panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting internal parts.

Mitigation steps:

  • Check bin seating: Ensure the ice bin is fully seated and not rattling against the cabinet.
  • Add damping: Place a thin food-safe silicone mat or rubber pad at the bottom of the bin to cushion falling ice.
  • Tighten internal panels: Inspect and tighten screws around the ice chute and bin supports.
  • Verify cube size: Oversized cubes can cause louder impacts; adjust cube size smaller if possible.
