Icicle- No more!

[Max Hubrich]

I have been plagued for years with my ice maker dripping an icicle off the front end of the ice tray causing an ice rink in the front corner of the ice hopper-.

I finally figured out the problem and thought others with a similiar problem might benefit from my solution.

The freaking ice maker was mounted in the freezer tilting towards the front edge-



Cover removed from the ice maker



Here's the fix- I wedged two pennies (about .100 thick) between the molded rail and the front edge of the bracket. It worked great and the ice maker worked better than it ever has before. Problem was the pennies started to turn green-. I now have cut two thin pieces of aluminum to replace the pennies- .


It has worked great for me, good luck to you folks,

Nice idea, how about using something like Plexiglas or stainless steel so the aluminum would not corrode after a while?

Thanks for the tip Max, stay down in sunny FL. still to cold in Maine as yet, you won't need ice here yet.
