Possible Causes

Stalled ice maker motor, Broken ice maker gear or cam, Faulty position sensor or switch, Ice jam in mold or ejector arm

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off ice maker and disconnect power before working on the ice assembly.

Steps:

  • Inspect for jams: Remove the ice bin and look for clumped ice blocking the ejector arm. Clear any obstructions.
  • Check water fill: Ensure the mold is filling correctly and not overfilling and freezing parts together.
  • Manually cycle (if possible): Some Miele ice makers can be manually advanced. Refer to the service manual. If the motor hums but does not move, it may be seized.
  • Replace ice maker assembly: If gears are stripped or the motor is inoperative, replace the complete ice maker module.
