What the ice bin and door seal repair
involves.
Ice keeps well only when it stays below freezing and dry. On a door ice maker that job falls to the insulated cover over the compartment and the gasket around it; on an undercounter unit, to the door gasket and the latch; on every design, to a bin that sits square in its place so the auger and the sensor line up. Small damage matters here. A split in the cover gasket, a bin with a cracked corner, a latch that no longer pulls the door tight, or a cover warped by being slammed lets moist kitchen air in. The ice sweats, fuses into clumps, and meltwater drips from the compartment onto the shelves or out onto the floor. The technician checks the seal with the paper test and a close look for frost trails, inspects the bin, its rails and the cover hinges, and replaces the parts that no longer close tightly.

Gaskets and latches are inexpensive and fitted from the front. A new bin made for one model, especially one with the auger built in, costs a little more.

The kitchen, the climate and the building all change how the ice bin and door seal repair goes. These notes are about that, metro by metro.
All service areasTampa BayFL · 31 areas
Tampa Bay's damp air finds any gap in an ice bin's seal, and a bin that frosts or clumps soon after it is emptied is checked for a cracked bin, a warped door seal or a dispenser flap that no longer closes flat.
OrlandoFL · 30 areas
In Orlando vacation homes, bins get pulled out, dropped and slid back crooked by guests, and a bin that does not seat stops the dispenser and lets warm air in, so the bin's rails, its latch and the seal behind it are set right.
Miami / South FloridaFL · 47 areas
On an outdoor bar in South Florida, salt air and humidity attack an undercounter ice maker's door gasket first, and a gasket that has hardened or pulled away lets moist air in until the stored ice melts at its edges and refreezes.
New York MetroNY · 75 areas
Narrow New York kitchens put the freezer drawer where hips and chairs bump it, and a freezer ice bin that has been knocked off its track or a drawer seal that no longer closes flat causes clumped ice and frost on the bin walls.
HoustonTX · 36 areas
A Houston kitchen opened to a humid backyard all summer loads the ice bin with moisture, and a door or bin seal that was only marginal becomes the reason ice clumps into blocks, so the seal is replaced before the ice maker is blamed.
ChicagoIL · 50 areas
Chicagoland basement bar units spend the winter at rest and the summer in heavy use, and a door gasket that dried out while unused lets warm air in, which shows up as a wet bin and slow ice at the first graduation party.
Los AngelesCA · 95 areas
An outdoor ice maker in Los Angeles works in dry heat and direct sun, which bakes its door gasket stiff, and a gasket that no longer seals lets ice melt faster than the unit can replace it, so the gasket is renewed before the cooling is questioned.
San DiegoCA · 31 areas
Near the San Diego coast an outdoor ice maker's door and its hinge hardware corrode in the salt air, and a door that sags away from its gasket is re-hung with new hardware along with the seal, not just fitted with a new gasket.
San Francisco Bay AreaCA · 74 areas
Damp fog near the Bay reaches bins in kitchens that stay cool and are opened often, and an ice bin that frosts over in spite of a working ice maker is checked at its seal and at the chute door before anything else.
