How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off water supply and unplug the fridge before servicing the ice maker.
- Inspect ice bin: Remove clumped ice and check for ice bridging that prevents cubes from ejecting properly.
- Check fill tube: Ensure the tube is correctly positioned over the ice mold and not cracked or blocked.
- Adjust water pressure: Excessive household water pressure can cause overfilling. Install a pressure regulator if needed.
- Replace valve or ice maker: If water continues to overfill the mold, the inlet valve or ice maker module may be defective and should be replaced.
