Ice in the bin on subzero 632 freezer is in clumps

I have a subzero 632 refridg and the ice on the right side of the bin freezes in a clump. There must be a drip of water that gets in to the bin and it freezes all the cubes together. Is this a result of a proces that ejects the cubes?

If the ice maker leaking it's easy to replace, or may be just a water supply tube has been moved to the side

In my case, it was the fill timer. I turned the screw a half turn and now it's working correctly. Should have done this 20 years ago.

Have you had a dispenser flapper replaced..if its not sealing (closed) properly it will lead to frost buildup in the location described..

You can check that by looking into ice chute form inside the freezer door and see if any light shines through

Ice maker stopped dispensing

Refrigerator - Icemaker Not Dispensing,or Not Making Ice Check that the feeler arm on the icemaker is in the down position and is not blocked. If the icemaker does not have a feeler arm make sure the icemaker paddle is not blocked under the icemaker. For more information on the causes of new icemakers not making ice. For more information on normal ice production. Side by Side models: The filter may be loaded with sediment that can cause low water pressure. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi. Pressures below 40 psi may cause a malfunction of the icemaker (i.e. producing hollow cubes or no ice production). Test the water pressure: Dispense water from the dispenser into a large measuring cup for 20 seconds. If the measuring cup contains less than 13.5 ounces (400 metric centimeters), the water flow is inadequate. If the amount of water is less than 13.5 ounces then the refrigerator fails the test, remove the filter and test the refrigerator again with the by-pass plug in place. If the refrigerator dispenses the proper amount of water with the by-pass plug in place, then the filter should be replaced. If you no longer have the by-pass plug and it has been over three months since the filter has been replaced, you should replace the filter. If the refrigerator fails the test again and you know you have the proper water pressure in your home, you should call service to check the refrigerator. If the amount of water collected is over 13.5 ounces then the refrigerator passes the test and the dispenser is working correctly. Ice not Dispensing Due To Clumping Ice: Your dispenser may not be dispensing due to clumping ice cubes. The ice cubes in your icemaker may be clumping for a couple of reasons: Low food load: The defrost cycle radiates heat into the freezer. The ice in the freezer will naturally absorb the heat. This will cause the ice to melt slightly during defrost, then eventually freeze together in clumps. Increasing the food load in the freezer will buffer the warmth from the defrost cycle and keeps the ice from melting. Lack of use: When the ice bin is full, the pressure from the weight of the cubes can cause the bottom cubes to fuse and clump. To prevent this from happening, discard the clumped ice and check the bin periodically to ensure the ice is not building up. If you do not use a large amount of ice, move the feeler arm on the icemaker to the up position to turn off the icemaker and stop ice production. For more information on the causes of clumping cubes. If the ice bucket is not seated correctly, ice will not dispense properly. Make sure the ice bucket is in the correct position. Refer to Use & Care manual.

Glide rails on kenmore bottom drawer freezer keep freezing up

I suspect that you've got a leaky ice maker. Do you have clumps of ice in the bin, too? Many times, replacing the ice maker will solve the problem.

Ice maker makes ice however there is a big clump of ice stuck to the bottom of the bin. It keeps happening each time I remove the clump. I have replaced the 2 valves in the back of the refrig/freeze

Sounds as if the tray is running over. Are the cubes oversized? If you remove the cover (front, usually) from the icemaker you'll probably find a fill adjustment -- a screw with + and - markings. Rotate the screw 1/2 turn in the - direction and see if you notice a reduction in cube size. If it's running over, you may need to make more than one 1/2 turn adjustment.

Ice maker makes ice but will dispense through door. Checked and it is not clogged.

Good day!!!

This could be because the ice is clumped in the ice bin. When the automatic defrost cycle occurs, heat is transferred to the freezer area. This can cause the cubes to melt slightly and refreeze back together. You can take the bin out and give it a good shake, or simply discard the cubes and start over with a fresh batch of ice cubes. By increasing the amount of food in the freezer compartment, you may be able to buffer the heat that comes from the defrost cycle and avoid clumping issues. If you have a large ice bin and hardly use any ice, it is possible that the cubes have gotten stuck together just from the weight of the cubes on top of others.

I hope this information will be helpful...Thanks for using fixya...

Ice Maker problem

Problem is either that the water is spilling over when the ice tray fills or the ice shut flap is not closing correctly allowing warm air to enter the ice bin. Regards Advisor
