it's a real simple fix if your ice maker
is only making
crushed ice even though you got it on
cube
this happens frequently this happens a
lot to a lot of people refrigerator
this is the easy fix for first thing you
want to do
is uh understand how
what's what's happening yeah your ice
maker is
automatically set to
make um
crushed over here is the blades
and it's for some reason i don't know
why they defaulted to
making crushed ice and when you and
and when you press this button
when you press the the ice dispenser
you will hear it you will hear it
switch over you heard that look
click sound that sound
that clicking which what you're actually
hearing is
what you're actually hearing is this
little plastic piece right here
moving slamming down you're hearing
you're hearing that slam there's a bar
this bar
that runs along there i'm gonna pull
this out in a second and show you
let me pull this up pull this out and
show you
this is the back end of that bar this
little
swivel this rotates down
like that it rotates like this
that little that little thing on the
swivel and that
when you press when you select it when
you push in the uh
the dispenser this little tab right here
you see how freely this moves up i'm
gonna insert a picture of the back side
of this
you'll see the spring there's a spring
on it
you almost see it right here here you
see it
this it's frozen
this is frozen somehow ice got back
there moisture got back down on the
middle spring
and um and
through whatever cycle of defrost and
frost
and frozen this be the spring flows up
but this ain't this ain't moving up
anymore they springing up anymore
and they got and for some reason the
manufacturers this being down it's set
for crushed ice and when that thing move
when you push in
and when you push in the dispenser and
you gotta set for
uh cubed ice this goes up
causing uh
this goes up
moving this
taking this with it up which causes that
little plastic piece
which causes this little plastic piece
to slam down causing the ice to avoid
the blades to crush them up the crusher
let me see if i can stick some in here
and make the refrigerator door think
it's still closed
so we can see it in action let me press
the let me press the ice dispenser
see it cubes are coming out this is what
you do
now you saw the back end of the the back
side of this diagram
what's on the back side of this what i
did was
it's not easy that is if if you having
this problem you're going to notice that
this doesn't move at all and this moves
with
light this move with very light ease
so what you want to do is
what you want to do is you want to stick
something in there
and try to force it up to break up the
ice
you want to break that ice up
break that ice up and that's going to
fix your problem
