Ice maker in refrigerator issue

No it's a whirlpool that's about 12 years old

It’s probably a slight drip that is freezing cubes together. Mine is doing the same. I just remove the block every few days.

have you ever replaced the ice tray?...it could be over filling because some of the ice is still in the tray instead of dropping into the bin...
over time the ice tray gets "roughed" up and not all of the ice drops...

It sounds like the refrigerator is unlevel, causing the water and ice to lean too heavily toward the door. Place a level on top and, while lifting the front, adjust the feet under the appliance. But that will only work for a while. The weight of the appliance is buckling the floor beneath it, and will eventually all come crashing down.

I had to google our problem with our professional series Viking unit. We found some reclaimed parts through a website

Temperature sensor on the bottom?
Seriously I can't think of any modular ice maker with a water level sensor.

So you have the icemaker with fingers that push out the ice or the type that twist a tray to eject?

That's a temp sensor not a water level sensor. Pictured.



You can change fill volume in diagnostics.

But the most likely cause is a Crack in the tray or a blockage in the fill tube.

They are pretty easy to replace. I would be tempted to just buy a new ice maker.

One other potential issue- make sure the flap on the outside of the dispenser is closing all the way. If it isn’t, warm air can seep in enough to melt the ice a little bit and then if it closes all the way after the next time it gets used, the ice cubes can refreeze in a clump.

That's an ice level sensor. Usually ir or a bar that is pressed. I assumed he meant a water level sensor like the stand alone icemakers use.
He's over filling with water not making too much ice.
The ice level sensor is bad if your ice bin is overflowing with ice. This is rare except on the KitchenAid/Whirlpools with the IR sensor by the door.

Manufactures for too "cute " with icemaker icemaker design. Whirlpool and Frigidare modular icemakers were so good multiple brands used them. Sub zero and Thermador included. They used timers and limit switches and the fill sensor was a metal bar that stopped ice production when lifted. They were ready to test and cheap to replace. The GE icemaker isn't bad. Just not as as easy to test, but it's the cheapest.

Ice never been a fan of twist tray icemakers. I especially hate icemakers that are in the fridge in a compartment. Nothing but trouble but you want ice to come out the door with a bottom freezer? Then they are the only way.

So after realizing I don't have a fill sensor based on more research on my model, I think it's the water fill valve. I ordered a new one off Amazon for about $25 so I'm going to start there and see if that works
