Ice Clumping in Kenmore Refrigerator Ice Bin?

I have Kenmore refrigerator model number 253.70319211, with French doors. The ice maker is in refrigerator and makes ice great except the ice clumps in tray. There are no visible leaks. It seems to clump in the center of the bin. Could this be a defrost terminator (thermostat) issue? I tried adjusting template up and down. No change. I replaced the water valve in back of the unit. No change; it was still clumping ice. Any suggestions?

You are correct when you say it is a temp problem in the ice tray. It appears that the ice is starting to melt then freezes up again which is causing it to clump like it does. You may need to check on this more often and move the ice around to keep it out of the middle of the bin and more around the sides.

This sounds liike a warning to me that maybe the freezer isn't working as well as it ought.


This is worrisome in case you have meat, seafood, or other highly perishable items in there; you do not want those things to defrost and refrost, ever.

Is there a way you can make sure the rest of the freezer is not doing that? Did you check the seals around the door?

The ice maker is in the refrigerator area, not the freezer, so it must regulate its own temperature??
