Sometimes, the ice maker acts like a grumpy teenager. It might stop working because the water line is frozen. That’s usually because your freezer is too cold (below 0°F). Chill out, freezer. Literally.
Other times, the cubes come out as a weird, hollow shell. This happens when the water didn’t fill the mold completely, often due to a low water pressure. Your ice is just crunchy air. Not ideal for a cocktail.
And then there’s the dreaded ice bridge—where the cubes freeze together into one giant block. Usually, this means your freezer temp is too warm, so the cubes melted slightly then refroze. It’s like a frozen alliance you didn’t ask for.
