If your ice container is also on the door then the issue is in your ice chute with the dispenser door. If your ice bucket is not on the door the issue is your defrost timer sticking.

SOURCE: ice maker will not push out ice cubes once frozer

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

The heater, or 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.

Enter model number on this website to find schematics and replacement parts.

SOURCE: cubes won't dump into the storage bin

In photo below you can see the heating element that comes on moments before the ice maker drops the ice. If not working then the icemaker will struggle to unload. You need to unplug the refrigerator and then unpluge the ice maker and remove it to test these parts. Test with a multi meter or ohm meter. Test the 2 connections next to the number #26. Hope this helps, Sea Breeze

My PT Model IM-600 US ice maker makes cubes but continues to freeze on the ouside of the cube tray blo th cubes from falling into the bucketwhat is wrong.

cubes set too large
Adjusting the Ice Cube Size: 1. Press and hold the "Adjust" button for approximately 3 seconds until the Green Indicator starts blinking, release the button. The unit is now in Ice Adjustment mode. 2a. Press the "CLEAN" button to decrease ice cube size. The Red Indicator will flash as you lower in size and will blink when you have reached the smallest possible setting. 2b. Press the "MODE" button to increase ice cube size. The Yellow Indicator will flash as you increase the size and will blink when you reached the largest possible setting. After 10 seconds without any operation, the unit will return to the previous mode. NOTE: • During the ice adjustment mode, if the "ICE FULL", "ICE MAKING" and "ICE HARVEST" LED's all blink simultaneously, this means setting is at the regular (middle) size. • When the machine is in the cleaning stage or ice full stage, the ice size cannot be adjusted.

Ice maker problems

Not sure which refrigerator you have but on mine when you select cubes there is a baffle that is pulled out of the way making the opening large enough to allow full sized cubes to pass. When you select crushed the baffel is left in place forcing the ice to pass through the crushing section. My guess is they are all probably about the same. So either the baffel peice on yours is missing, electrically stuck. Hard to say for certain with out seeing it.

I have a Kenmore Elite side-by-sr ide refrigerator Model 106. The ice making system is putting too much water in the ice tray, making the cubes too big. These large cubes are clogging up the dispenser. ...

With out the full model number it is hard to say. Most 106 model referigators have a modular ice maker. If you take the cover off of the front of the ice maker and look on the right hand side of the motor module you will notice a small plastic adjustment screw. If you turn this screw you can adjust your water fill time to the ice maker.

My scotman model sce170a1a.goes into harvest to

That has to be a faulty control wouldn't you think?
The cube size control should only be adjusted to
bring the cubes to the correct shape, the overall
size cannot be adjusted. Try to adjust the cube
size control when the ice machine is in the harvest
cycle, or in the first 10 minutes of the freeze cycle.
1. Open the door and remove the control box
cover.
2. Locate the cube size adjustment screw, and to
make fuller cubes, turn the screw clockwise about
1/4 turn. This will make the freezing cycle longer.
3. To shorten the freezing cycle and make cubes
that are not as full, turn the adjustment screw 1/4
turn counterclockwise.
4. After the next freezing cycle, the cubes should
have responded to the adjustment, if another
adjustment is required, do it early in the freeze
cycle.

Cube size adjustment location on lg refrigerator

The icemaker requires a water pressure of 1.5 - 8.5kgf/cm2. It is acceptable if the water supply fills a cup of 180cc with water in 3 seconds. The icemaker produces small cubes if the water fed into it is not enough and lumped together if too much water is supplied. In order to obtain the desired size of ice cubes, the amount of water supplied to the ice maker needs to be adjusted. Adjust the valve supplying water to the icemaker or the unit in general in such a way that right amount of water fills the ice tray.

Frigidaire gallery side by side is not making ice. When it does on occasion make ice the cubes get stuck in the ice maker before dropping into the holding box

It sounds like you need to adjust the size of the ice cubes.

If they stick together in a long row, to much water, and then of course if they are too small that is also a problem. All you have to do is remove the outer cover of the icemaker and look for the set screw. It will stand out from the others. and be marked with a Plus and a Minus sign. Whichever you are having the problem with, adjust accordingly. I would try 1/4 turn increments. See how that works after One day and then re-adjust as needed.
Hope this helps you out.
