Why does water drip from the front of my icemaker?

After my icemaker fills with water, a few drops of water fall from the front of the icemaker. After a day or two the ice in the bin is frozen into a blob that is difficult to remove.

This type of icemaker is used on Whirlpool, Frigidaire, and other refrigerator-freezer types. The water is likely dripping from the bearing notch molded into the front of the ice tray. The long rod with ejector fins that push out the finished ice lays in this bearing notch. This is the lowest point from which the water can slightly overflow. This is why you get the dew drops from the front. #2 below fixed my icemaker drip problem. See image below.

  1. Check that the entire refrigerator freezer is level. Check with a level on a freezer or refrigerator shelf. If the front of the unit is low and out of level it may cause this drip. If no joy then
  2. Using a 1/4inch nut driver, loosen the 2) icemaker hanger screws (above the icemaker) and the 1) bottom mount screw (below the ice maker). Lift the front of the icemaker slightly higher than the rear of the icemaker and retighten the screws. Verify that the icemaker is securely mounted. This lowers the water level below the ejector rod bearing. If no joy then
  3. Remove (pry off) the front cover of the ice maker and turn the water adjustment (on the side of the icemaker behind the cover) clockwise 1/2 turn to reduce the water. (Don't adjust more that 1/2 turn or the unit may be damaged) Observe for a few cycles to verify OK.
