Try slightly raising the temperature in the freezer, if its adjustable.

may be that having the temp cranked very low may cause the motor/fingers

turn slower, and the supercold surface may flash freeze the cubes to the
tray edge.


Last batch, the fingers were stuck IN the ice, went to the appliance
parts store, they said it was probably something to do with the temp
sensor or the heater, told me there aren't any replaceable parts in a
modular icemaker anyway, far as I could see, that's true. Asked them
why the last one I bought at the same store only lasted 2 years, they
said that's about all I can expect with the cr@ppy water here in
Phoenix. Could be right, my fridge water is filtered but there was
still a lot of calcium buildup in the icemaker tray. Or, it could be
they sell you parts that will self destruct in 2 years, just to keep
you coming back. The parts store sure had a large pile of icemakers in
boxes, right in front of the counter. Bought a new one, plugged it in,
woke to the sight of ice in the bucket this morning.

Life is good,

I can relate to the hard water problem. Here in the Ozarks, our water is so
hard, a hot water tank, even with regular flushing, wont last more than 8
years. Humidifiers clog up regularly, and everything around the sink or tub
will have a white haze. Water filters clog immediately. Good luck on your
new icemaker.
