Ice Maker Makes Too Much Ice

Topics:

  • Ice maker producing too much ice
  • Ice bin overflowing with ice
  • Ice maker will not stop making ice
  • Ice falls out of drawer or bin
  • Too much ice production
  • Sub-Zero making too much ice

Steps to Verify Issue:

The ice maker will make 8 cubes of ice every 2-3 hours on average.

  • The ice bin may take 1-2 days to fill completely.
  • All ice makers can be manually turned off by manually raising the ice level arm (rudder) to the "up" position. Simply removing the ice bin will not suffice.
  • If the unit is overproducing ice, there may be something wrong with this functionality.

If too much ice is produced:

  1. Make sure the ice bin is properly installed.
  2. If available, verify the Max Ice feature is not enabled. Max Ice increases ice production for a 24-hour period.
  3. Make sure ice maker shut-off arm is attached to the ice maker.
  4. Make sure ice maker rudder arm is attached to the shut-off arm.
