Possible Causes

Ice cubes dropping onto an empty plastic bin, Refrigerant line expansion against the cabinet, Loose mounting brackets, Ejector arm striking an ice block.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit if you need to access internal components.

  • 1. Differentiate normal vs abnormal:
    • Some knocking when ice drops into the bin is normal.
    • Continuous or very loud banging indicates a problem.
  • 2. Check bin cushioning:
    • Ensure the ice bin is correctly installed and not warped.
    • Replace a cracked bin that amplifies noise.
  • 3. Inspect refrigerant lines:
    • At the rear, gently move copper lines away from metal panels if they are touching.
  • 4. Examine ejector mechanism:
    • Remove internal cover and watch a cycle.
    • Ensure the ejector arm is not hitting a solid block of ice; if so, follow E13 to address harvest issues.
