Why won't my freestanding ice maker cut the ice into cubes?
less than a minute readApr 19Lyle Weischwill
If the cutter grid isn't heating up and cutting the ice slab into cubes, unplug the ice maker and check the wire harness connections between the cutter grid and the electronic control board. Reconnect loose wires and repair broken wires.
If the wires are okay, replace the cutter grid if its wires don't heat when activated. If you replace the cutter grid and it still doesn't heat, then you'll likely need to replace the electronic control board because the board isn't sending voltage to the cutter grid.

Replace the ice maker cutter grid
The cutter grid is below the front of the evaporator plate. When the slab of ice slides off the evaporator plate onto the cutter grid, the wires of the cutter grid heat up and cut through the ice slab for form square cubes. If the wires of the cutter grid are broken or don't heat up, replace the cutter grid.
