Making too Much Ice - Ice Maker in Refrigerator - Side by Side Refrigerator

Possible Solutions

Is the Ice Maker Turned On? 

A common reason an ice maker does not make ice is that it was accidentally turned off. Sometimes, resetting the ice maker can resolve minor issues. Locate the reset button on your ice maker (consult your manual if unsure) and press and hold it for a few seconds. If your refrigerator doesn't have a reset button, perform a power cycle by unplugging it for one minute and plugging it back in.  Refer to How to Turn the Ice Maker On for more information on using the ice maker. 

If the Ice Maker is not connected to a water supply line but remains turned on, it could cause the following: a buzzing noise, the refrigerator may be too cold, food in the crisper drawers may freeze, and the freezer section may get too cold. 

Are you storing anything other than ice in the bin? 

Storing anything other than the ice produced by the ice maker can cause damage to the internal mechanisms in the ice maker module. This damage could cause the ice maker to over produce ice. This also includes adding or storing bagged ice in the ice bin.
