I have a GE PFSS2MJYSS fridge, the ice maker appears to be letting the ice melt then refreeze, thereby clumping into a solid sheet of ice, what is the reason for this?

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?

Is it the clump of ice that's connected to a mechanism? That's what you wrote. Melt the clump until the mechanism is free at last, free at last, thank god almighty, free at last. (MLK)

Pull the refrig out , and remove the back panel . Is the fan that cools the compressor working ? Is the coil roll clean ? If the fan is not working , then the problem is probably the main control board . Behind the 8"X10" panel , above the compressor area . Remove the cover , and look for a burnt resistor , just to be safe . If this fan does not work , then the coils and the refrigerant line running between the doors , will get very hot .

Many ice makers have an adjustment screw behind the front cover that shows plus or minus. Try the minus turn of the screw that should shorten the amount of time the ice maker fills. If electronic please call the company you purchased it from and explain the problem. Sea Breeze

you either have a bad water valve, which it is sticking open or B. the ice maker is not shutting the valve off.

the heating fan which turns on and off for defrosting is eathier stuck and wont start to defrost fast enough its a 35 part if you can do it your self when this happens its the defrost elment is going out

repl main board and make sure your out let is properly wired and grounded those main boards are sensitive when not grounded

check the flap door to see if it is slightly open letting warm air in

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

That means that the evaporator fan system that releases the the ice cubes is not working as it should.

The evaporator fan and heating system must be checked, and fan, or solenoid, or element must be replaced.

Use the number listed on the owner manual if you want to call a technician.
