I'm not having problems with the ice maker generating ice cubes. Instead after the ice cubes drop, they appear to melt somewhat, then refreeze in clumps.
My issue is similar but the drip tray in the door also fills with water to the point where it overflows onto the floor. Not sure if it is ice melt or if the water supply fails to shut off. Any tips/tricks on troubleshooting the water supply valve?

ice cubes are formed but ice is melting and clumps together and refreezes. Water is also dripping outside of bin and then refreezes inside of freezer. ice cubes are formed but ice is melting and clumps together and refreezes.

As far as the ice maker melting, It really isnt. It is just a poor design. If you open the left door to fast while ice is trying to freeze in the icemaker tray and the water isnt frozen yet when you open the door to fast some sloshes out and spills in your ice bucket making it freeze together in a big clump. This is a hassle but you just have to break it up and all is good. It has become such an issue we try to keep all the things we use most often on the right and not open the left door very much at all. Which is a hassle. When we do open the left door we do it slowly trying to not spill ice that might be being made in the ice tray.As far as the ice maker melting, It really isnt. It is just a poor design.

Can you provide a model number of the refrigerator? Is the water filling too high in the ice maker? Are the top of the ice cubes connected together before the ice drops into the ice bin? APPLIANCE 911
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.
There is a heater built into the ice maker bottom to help release ice cubes from the machine. Under normal conditions the heater only come on when the ice maker starts to run and then jambs against the frozen cubes. When it stalls and jambs against the frozen ice cubes, the heater comes on to melt the cubes enough. I think you have a defective ice maker and the heater is coming on to much or at the wrong time, Since your temps go back to normal with the ice maker turned off, I am almost sure thats your problem.

I hope this information will be helpful...Thanks for using fixya...
sounds like your just might not be using enough ice and they are defrosting and clumping together.figure your pulling ice from front of bucket the the backs hardly get used espescially in winter your not using as much ice. or ice maker is slightly over flilling water and dripping over rear of unit

Ice is melting and water is refreezing all over the freezers
