o
Ice cubes are not
being used frequently
enough or interruption
of power for prolonged
time.
Ice cubes are hollow
(shells of ice with water
inside). The hollow
cubes break open in
the bin and leak their
water onto existing
ice, which causes it to
freeze together.
Remove ice container and discard
ice. The ice maker will produce fresh
supply. Ice should be used at least
twice weekly to keep the cubes
separated.
This generally occurs when the ice
maker does not get enough water. This
is usually the result of a clogged water
filter or restricted water supply. Replace
the water filter and if the condition still
occurs check for a Saddle Valve, water
valve not turned on all the way or
kinked water supply line.
