    Ice maker

    It's in the frig.
    The ice is sticking together in the bin.
    Seems to be getting worse.
    I remember there was a way to adjust for that.
    Something to do with the three screws under a cover.
    Any ideas????

    Put a thermometer in there, it may not be cold enough.

    You have an icemaker that actually did make ice at one time?

    Ice makers frequently have a fan that helps keep the ice cold enough. If it is an ice dispenser another problem can be the little door that opens to dispense the ice not closing. I have had both of those problems in the past.

    This is the inside the freezer ice maker.
    I replaced it once.
    Freezer is cold enough to freeze foods.
    I remember there was an adjustment to do to solve this problem.
    It has three adjustment screws.
    If I remember correct....
    one is for how fast it makes ice.
    Two is to adjust the amount of water and size of cubes.
    Three is the heater in the drum.
    It heats slightly so the ice can be pushed out of the drum.
    At least that's what I kind of remember.
    Screws not labeled.

    Gotta know what make and model ice maker you have. As the ice makers have gotten newer, the less field adjustment they have.

    If the cubes are sticking, (bridging) together it's probably over filling.

    I once had a commercial ice maker. I spent so many hours to keep it running, finally got rid of it.

    Ice sticking together in the bin is because they aren’t being kept cold enough. The surface melts slightly and then they refreeze sticking together. All self defrosting freezers will have this problem to some extent. Turn the temperature control down.
