Likewise, why does ice get stuck in the ice maker?
Ice Maker Gets Stuck If the ice storage bin gets too full or isn't used often enough, slight melting and refreezing may cause ice cubes to stick together in clumps, making it impossible to dispense them. Remove the ice storage bin from the freezer and break clumped up ice with your hands.
Likewise, how do you unfreeze an ice maker fill tube?
Turn on the hair dryer to its high setting and position it near the icemaker fill-tube that protrudes from the back wall of your freezer. Hold the dryer near the fill-tube until water starts to drip from the tube and the ice plugging the tube falls into the freezer.
If your ice maker isn't producing ice at all or is producing crescents or cubes that are smaller than usual, it's typically indicative of a clog somewhere along the supply line. Cause: A common cause for a clog is frozen water in the line. Fix: To repair a frozen line, slide the refrigerator and unplug it.
