If the arm on your Magic Chef portable ice maker keeps sticking in the up position, there could be a few possible reasons for this issue:
- Ice level sensor: The arm on an ice maker is usually connected to an ice level sensor. The sensor detects the ice level in the machine and signals the ice maker to stop producing ice when the bin is full. If the sensor is dirty or malfunctioning, it may cause the arm to stick in the up position. Try cleaning the sensor with a soft cloth or consult the user manual for instructions on how to clean or troubleshoot the ice level sensor.
- Ice blockage: Check if there is any ice blockage or clumping in the ice maker. If the ice cubes have fused together, they might prevent the arm from moving freely. Empty the ice maker and remove any clumps or blockages. If the ice maker is producing ice that is too large or irregularly shaped, it can also cause the arm to get stuck. In such cases, you may need to check the ice maker's settings and adjust them accordingly.
- Mechanical issue: There might be a mechanical problem with the arm mechanism itself. It could be due to a worn-out or broken part that is causing the arm to stick. In this case, it's recommended to contact Magic Chef customer support or a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
