- Ice clumping in the bin. Break up clumps with a plastic utensil, check that nothing blocks the freezer door gasket, clean the bin and confirm the freezer is set near 0°. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Ice Clumping in Ice Bin - Refrigerator

What Boaz Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Boaz come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.
