Possible Causes

Poor bin insulation, Warm air infiltration through door, Ice maker cycling too infrequently, Bin drain blocked causing meltwater

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before inspecting seals or bin components.

  • Check door seal: Inspect the bin door gasket for gaps, tears, or debris. Clean and replace if not sealing properly.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the bin area is not exposed to warm drafts from nearby appliances.
  • Clear bin drain: Verify the bin or base drain is clear so meltwater can exit instead of refreezing around cubes.
  • Break up clumps: Periodically break up ice clumps and discard old ice to maintain freshness.
