Potential Cause
Common Solution
Ice cubes are

Ice cubes are not
being used frequently
enough.
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. Replace the water filter.
