“The ice cubes in the ice tray keep clumping together into one solid block, as if excess water is being added after the cubes have already frozen. I read that this is likely caused by the ice maker not shutting off properly during the fill cycle. Help.”

Ice clumping in the Energy Star® Qualified LG 26.5 cu. Ft. Smart Counter-Depth MAX™ French Door Refrigerator, Model # LRFLC2706S, can be caused by several factors, including high humidity levels, improper door sealing, overloading the refrigerator, incorrect temperature settings, and the weight of the ice itself. High humidity levels can lead to condensation on the refrigerator's surfaces, while improper door sealing can allow warm air to enter, causing moisture to freeze. Overloading the refrigerator can restrict airflow, preventing the cold air from cooling all surfaces. Incorrect temperature settings can result in excessive cooling, causing moisture to freeze and form ice sheets. Additionally, the weight of the ice itself can cause it to clump together. To prevent ice clumping, it is essential to ensure that the refrigerator door seals properly, minimize door openings, and maintain the correct temperature settings. While it is possible that the clumping is likely caused by the ice maker not shutting off properly during the fill cycle, the more likely cause is a normal phenomenon in which moisture from ice evaporates naturally, and adjacent ice cubes stick together due to moisture on the ice. If the refrigerator door is left open for a long time in a humid environment, such as in summer, or if the door is not closed completely, ice cubes may melt and then stick together. If the ice is not used for a long time, the ice stored in the ice storage bin will become smaller or stick together due to moisture evaporation. If the ice sticks together, take out the ice storage bin and shake it to separate the ice cubes. If the adhered ice is not separated even after shaking the ice storage bin, throw away the ice, and replace the ice storage bin after washing In summer, lower the temperature of the freezer and fridge and make sure that the doors are closed properly. When the humidity is high, such as in summer or during the rainy season, if the freezer door is left open for a long time or there is a gap in the door, heat and moisture may enter and cause the ice to melt or stick together...^Ivan.
