Take the ice bin out and break up any cubes frozen together around the auger, then reseat the bin. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Sub-Zero bin is full but shows 30 9 10. What is wrong? The ice maker is doing its job; the auger motor circuit that carries ice to the chute is open. A technician checks the auger motor, its connector and the control output. ### Can clumped ice cause 30 9 10 on a Sub-Zero? Clumped ice can stall an auger, so clearing the bin is a sensible first step. An open circuit reading, though, usually means a failed motor or a broken connection rather than a jam alone. ### Can I still use the ice from the bin with 30 9 10 showing? Yes. Open the freezer and scoop ice from the bin by hand until the auger is repaired. --- **[Read on the site: Sub-Zero 30 9 10: the dispenser auger circuit is open](https://icemakerrepair.center/error-codes/sub-zero-30-9-10/)** **[Book a visit with IceMakerRepair.center](https://icemakerrepair.center/schedule/)**
